Shinobu's head was bowed as she faced the Moon Hashira, [Name] [L/N], Shinobou's eyes gloomed from their original look. " I'm sorry, [Name], but Zenitsu's body and half of Aoi's body were. . found recently... " [Name]'s eyes prickled with tears as they had memories of their late friends flash in their mind.
"Oh. " [Name] then bowed back to her " thank you for addressing this to me. " " [Name]- " They quickly left the office room back to the Butterfly's estate's garden; their safe place for years. They sat near the beautiful variety of flowers and sniffled loudly. They clutched their chest as they shook violently and let out the tears that they had held in.
' IT'S ALL MY FAULT! EVERY TIME I GET NEAR SOMEONE, THEY ALWAYS DIE! MY MOTHER! RENGOKU! DAMNIT! EVEN ZENITSU AND AOI!! '

" a nine-year-old girl with black hair and dark ocean blue eyes, came in front of them as she pointed at them with a stick in her hand. " h-huh? " [Name] looked at her quizzically as they wiped their tears.
