There are two types: A listener and a yapper. [Y] and Shadow Milk Cookie seem to match that. The beast cookie had been yapping for hours while the wanderer listened while reading books. Who listens and reads at the same time?

Shadow Milk Cookie pouted, then pulled on the wanderer's cheeks, ❝Are you listening to me?! Hmph!

"Yes." [Y] replied. The beloved trickster crossed his arms, ❝Hmph...It's no fun when you're being too honest.❞

"Would you rely on my terrible skill in lying?" [Y] asked.

❝C'mon! It can't be that bad!❞ Shadow Milk Cookie snorted. ❝Give me a lie!❞

The wanderer tries to think of a lie to prove that he's bad at lying. How can someone as stoic as [Y] be bad at lying? Shadow Milk Cookie has seen bad liars before, but [Y] has a great poker face and that is how he imagined the face that the former guardian makes when lying. Uh...the results weren't so great...

[Y] made the infamous or famous Tanjiro's lying face as he lied through his teeth, "I...I'm not an honest person..."

Shadow Milk looked at him, shOOked at what he saw and what he heard. Not only that [Y] has an inability to lie, but also BAD at coming up with lies! He has NEVER, EVER seen anyone this bad!

❝THAT'S THE BEST LIE YOU COME UP WITH?!❞ Shadow Milk Cookie hollered, gripping on the taller male's shoulders and shaking him violently, ❝AND WHAT'S WITH THAT FACE?! ARE YOU TANJIRO?! THAT'S CUTE, BUT IT'S SUCKS!!❞

[Y] fidgets, scratching the back of his head, "Sorry, Millennial Tree taught me to be an honest person which gives me the inability to lie..."

Shadow Milk squish [Y]'s cheeks, ❝My poor beloved...What's your name?❞

"[Y]..."

❝Hmm...I'll call you my pookie, pookie! Still, how can he make you this bad at this?❞ Shadow Milk whined, continually squishing the male's cheeks. ❝You were a great liar keeping a poker face~ Telling such cruel lies that can break other's mind. Like mine~ My mind was nearly broken but you somehow showed mercy...❞

"Huh? What do you...mean by that?" [Y] tilted his head. Shadow Milk hummed, ❝Are you really sure you wish to know?❞

"It'll help regain his memories, right?" The spirit thought.

❝Are you looking to know the truth? I may or may not be a liar, but...I can't lie to you, pookie. Let's go somewhere private where no one can hear you. I know just the place.❞

With White Lily, the female was flipping through pages of the history book about Red Spider Lily Cookie. However, some pages were ripped out of the book. Why is that? It's almost like someone angrily ripped it out or tried to hide something.
