Edward: I can't thank you enough for letting me stay with you.
Mitsuri: It's the least I could do for all you've done for me.
Currently, Mitsuri and Edward are spending some time together getting caught up.
Edward: Mitsuri, do you know when Final Selection is supposed to end?
Mitsuri takes a moment to think, "I think it will end in another 4 days, why?"
Edward: Sakonji's student, Tanjiro, was participating along with Genya and Kanao. I just wanted to know because I'm traveling with Tanjiro for the time being.
Mitsuri: Oh. Will you be meeting up with him again soon.
Edward: Possibly. I find it best for the students to go on their first mission alone so they know what they're capable of.
Mitsuri: How lovely, you always know what's best for your students.
Edward poses, "Why of course I do. It's what I pride myself on."
Mitsuri laughs at her past sensei's antics.
Edward: Anyways, I should start dinner. Anything you would like?
Mitsuri: Not particularly. I'll let you decide.
Edward: Alrighty then.
He makes his way into the kitchen and decides to make some Sakuramochi.
Once finished, Edward returns with the food and gives it to Mitsuri.
Mitsuri: Oh, my favorite! How did you know?
Edward: I pay attention to the small things.
Edward let's Mitsuri enjoy her food while he decides to take a look around her estate.
Edward pays attention to just how colorful she decided make it. The main colors though were a bright pink and green.
Edward: This doesn't surprise me in the slightest.
As he continues to make his way around, he ends up bumping into a small man and knocking him over.
???: I'm sorry, I wasn't looking were I was going.
Edward: It's fine. Neither was I.
Edward helps the man up and dusts him off, "Sorry about that. My name's Edward, what's yours?"
Obanai: Iguro Obanai, the serpent pillar.
Edward: Ah, another Hashira. I take it your here to talk to Mitsuri?
Obanai: Yes, I wanted her opinion on something.
Edward: If you don't mind me asking, what did you want her opinion on?
Obanai visibly tenses up. Edward realises it must be something personal.
Edward: Ah, I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable. But does it have something to do with the mask?
Edward points to the mask that Obanai has covering his mouth. Obanai reacts in a way that is a dead give away to Edward.
Edward: I see. I could do my best to help.
Obanai: I really don't see how you could help. I just wanted to see if Mitsuri would look at me differently if she knew about this.
Edward: Well, even if I can't help, I can give some advice if I know what the problem is.
Obanai: *Sigh* Fine. Come on.
Obanai drags Edward to another room. Once they enter, Obanai takes off his mask, revealing forceful cuts on both sides of his mouth.
