"HERE'S SOME TEA"
senjuro places a cup of tea in front of each of you.
you were all now sitting in a smaller room.
"please drink it"
the sun was pouring into the room from the open door and a nice breeze was flowing in.
you blow at the steaming drink, rising it to your lips and taking a silent sip. drinking hot tea was like one of those pains that feel good, it always felt nice to have the boiling liquid running down your throat.
tanjiro had his head down, he slowly looks up with an odd face, "oh, thank you" he says meekly.
"sorry. i mean, for head-butting your father. is he okay?" tanjiro says in embarrassment.
you just stare into your cup of tea.
"i think he'll be fine" senjuro smiles, "even went out to buy some sake when he came to."
you frown.
"is that right?"
"thank you very much" senjuro bows slightly.
you and tanjiro blink, "huh?"
senjuro smiles sadly, "you took a load off my mind. i could never even talk back when he bad mouthed my brother"
you look back to your tea, watching it swish around in your cup.
"what were my brother's last moments like?"

"I SEE."
you look down, empty tea cup resting just in front of your knees.
"so, my brother was valiant until the end. thank you both very much"
he puts his hand on the floor in front of him and bows down, you and tanjiro look at him in shock, "oh no, please.."
both you and tanjiro follow the action, you look down guiltily.
"forgive me for coming up short"
you frown, "i'm sorry, senjuro-kun. for not being able to save him. as his tsuguko, i should have been stronger. i should have been able to protect him"
senjuro looks up with a small smile and tears in his eyes, "please don't worry about it. and, name-nee, please don't say that"
you just look to the side.
"i'm sure that my brother told you the same thing, didn't he?" he says weakly, tears dripping from his eyes.
you swallow thickly, holding back the tears that were threatening to brim your eyes.
