There he was. Sitting before me was Mr. Rengoku. Alive. So many thoughts were going through my mind that I couldn't find the right words to say.

"Snowflake"

Huh? That's all I really heard, honestly. I wasn't really paying attention besides that last part.

"That's cool" I said. No emotions to carry it.

Pov: Rengoku

Young Lad. There's not much I can do to make you feel better right now. "So. How's it going? Your sister?" He was silent, lips tied together, eyes gone blank. He was no longer the boy I once met that fateful day. "She's alright." He whispered out. Words couldn't come across my mind to make him talk more, so, instead, I moved towards him. I pulled him into a hug, hoping he'd go with it. But he did not. He still stayed in the same position, only letting his eyes do the talking. "Hush, hush, it's gonna be alright." I said, patting him on his head. "Mr.... Mr. Rengoku." He cried out. "I-.. I'm so sorry!" The boy laid his head between his legs, shaking his body aggressively. "If. If maybe I was strong enough, maybe you wouldn't have that scar! Maybe you'd be fine and not be in any pain right now!" He cried, his hands soaked in tears. "Tanjiro-" "Maybe your brother wouldn't be worried sick if you're going to die or live!" He put his hands over his mouth to silence himself from screaming. Gripping onto his hair, pulling it. "Tanjiro!" I stood up catching his glance. "Calm down! My brother knows I'm alive, he knows I'm doing okay! We write letters so he can know what's happening with me and everything. You don't have to worry. Don't blame yourself for anything! As a Hashira, it's my duty to keep everyone safe! So, if I died that day, it'd be worth it! Knowing you, Boy of Yellow, and Boar Kid were alright, I'd be happy knowing I fulfilled my duty of keeping y'all safe!" I couldn't help but let out small waterfalls, filling my cheeks with stained marks. He opened his mouth, breathing heavily. "Tanjiro. Don't feel bad you 'couldn't' help. You did the best you could, and your best is enough for me and everyone who knows your name!" I reached for his shoulders, bending down on one knee. "You are enough, Tanjiro my boy." "Mr. Rengoku... I- I didn't know that-*sniff* that your brother knew. I'm sorry for yelling, but, I'm just scared you're going to die the next time another one of those things come back!" He laid his head on my shoulder, hugging me back.

"It's alright, Lad."

Pov: Zenitsu

I heard it all.

Pov: Inosuke

"So," Said the Yellow Boy, "What do we do now?" "Well, how should I know? All they were talking about was the Train Mission! What are we supposed to do with that?!" The idiot went silent. "Well. We could train more, until our arms and legs fall off!"

Pov: Tanjiro

"Mr. Rengoku." "Yes, Lad?" He chirped. "I was thinking. Well, I was thinking if I could sleep in your room tonight?"
