Tanjirou's pov
As the sun set and the cold night arrived the (H/C)-nette was already back to the home that she had been staying.
Tanjirou greeted her at the door but was taken aback with her battered state and lingering scent. His hand almost shot up to cover his nose but luckily he managed to stop himself and instead only his face showed a flabbergasted reaction.
The scent of unbearable melancholy clung vaguely onto her as she ate her dinner and cleaned herself, but the thick veil of her dejected emotion was hidden with the big smiles she gave off, which her hidden feelings can be easily undetected to the untrained nose.
Kamado can't bear to see--or rather smell-- his friend's intense sadness and had finally made a decision to step up and confront her that very night. So, with that intention in mind he prepped himself up before turning to her with a hand on her shoulder.
"Oh, so you noticed." The girl softly spoke after a moment of silence passed as she stated at him with an unreadable expression and a sad smile. "Heh, don't worry about it, I'm fi--"
"(Y/N) please stop lying." He said with a stern tone whilst having a face of soft concern. The said (H/C) haired girl visibly tensed up at his sudden assertiveness before her fake mask of a smile faltered into a small frown.
The sight of her expression tugged his heart heavily but continued to push forward as he then had two of his calloused hands on her shoulders. "I know that you're hiding your true feelings, and so is Hiroshi, but the thing is that you're unhappiness is something that I can barely handle even if I only sniff just a small intake of a breath."
(Y/N) only fell silent as she continued to stare up at him with a now crumbling look on her solemn face. "If it makes you feel better, you can share the things that's been bothering your mind." The grip on her shoulders squeezed a bit tighter but not to the point of hurting the girl, instead only reminded them of the familiar scenario they've been on the first month they've met.
"I know I may look like I'm overstepping my boundaries but I can't just let you suffer alone with the suffocating sadness you're enduring, so please (Y/N)..."
Here lips quivered before tears began to fall down her cheeks, a string of quiet sobs emitting from her. "*sob* *sob* I-I mi-miss them T-Tanjirou... I m-miss *sob* them.... M-My frie-friends, *hic* my t-teachers... I... I don't even kn-know if *sob* I'll e-e-ever s-see them again... I ne-never h-had the chance t-to even say *hic* *hic* go-goodbye to e-e-everyone I-I loved. *sniff* I know th-that you h-had it worse b-b-but I c-can't help i-it! I... I'm w-weak, Tanjirou. I'm... weak... I don't... want to be alone..."
