[name] made some onigiri for Tanjiro, as he sat down at the table waiting patiently. The smell of cooked rice filled the room. It smelled like cherry blossoms. [name] placed a wooden plate with onigiri in front of Tanjiro and shot him a smile.
As Tanjiro reached for his food, one of the bandages on his arm had come undone and started bleeding. [name] immediately noticed.
"You're bleeding again?"
[name] ran into the room across to get some bandages as Tanjiro looked at his arm. [name] camp back with thread, a needle, and bandages. After stitching his arm, she bandaged it.
[name] didn't say anything. She just sat back down and began reading her book once again as the rice cooled off and filled the air with mild steam. [name] was known to keep to herself, since she never really had any company from which other demons heard.
One part of Tanjiro felt bad for her, the other part wasn't so sure.
As soon as [name] looked over to the table, Tanjiro had passed out. Most likely from exhaustion from going down all those flights of stairs, using most of his energy. [name] sighed eternally. She shut her book and carried him over to another bedroom.
'For a woman who has so many bedrooms, why not have more company?'
----
Tanjiro woke up once again, stretching his limbs which hurt less than expected. In fact, he felt less pain than he was in before. He looked over to the dresser next to the bed and saw a cup of medicine and a note beside it. He opened it.
"When you wake up, drink this. It's similar to a smoothie and a mix of tea, but it'll help your strength regain faster and it'll numb the pain of your injuries. If you need anything, tell me if you're going to get out of bed. You passed out from exhaustion and possibly slight blood loss. You might be strong enough to walk possibly by tomorrow afternoon. But for now, please stay in bed so you can rest.
- Sincerely, [name]."
Tanjiro was thoughtful and drank it without hesitation. It tasted like Daisy Vanilla. Though Tanjiro was told to stay in bed, he wants to explore more of the cave. He never got to really get a glimpse of the whole house. And he felt as good as new.
'Maybe she won't mind if I'm not gone for that long...'
----
'It's been 5 hours... I need to find something to do.'
Whenever [name] was bored, she would either read or help flourish her garden. Though [name] was also a teenager in human years, she would act like an adult. Sophisticated, Intelligent, and well educated. Not to mention hard-working; she built this cave herself with her bare hands. The garden and her own room took the longest.
As [name] was walking down the hallway to her gardening room, she happened to pass Tanjiro's room. He wasn't there. [name] sighed deeply. She was too tired and had too much on her mind to deal with this.
She scattered through the house and saw him standing in one of the rooms which were her favorite, but one she didn't let people trespass. Not even if she had family left.
