Tanjiro's  POV:

As we sat quietly in the supply closet I realised my mother would be looking for me! She doesn't even know Nezuko is going to the mall!

Zenitsu whimpered and started to speak. "Do you think Gramps will recover from my death?" He started to cry harder. "HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOU THINK WILL GO TO MY FUNERAL???"

"Zenitsu!" I exclaimed. "Stop panicking! I'm sure a janitor or someone will come in here!"

"M-maybe in a couple years! By then I'll be dust!!"

I frowned. "Zenitsu, please stop. How about we talk to pass some time?"

"O-okay." Zenitsu sniffled.

"Okay, so." I thought for awhile, "What's your favorite color?"

"What's my favorite color? Clearly yellow!! Why else would I only wear it??"

"Stop yelling at me for a question!"

"Stop asking dumb questions!!"

"Fine, Inosuke, do you have any siblings?"

Inosuke grunts in surprise. "HUH?!"

"Huh?" I replied.

"That question is for me?"

"Yes?"

"No, I ate them."

"YOU WHAT??" I shouted, very emotional.

"Yeeeeah, I did." He paused, very deep in thought. "No, I did not, I have none to eat, but if I did they would be eaten."

"..." I did not reply.

"Hey Inosuke, I have a question too!" Zenitsu said.

"Lord Inosuke Hashibira shall answer it!"

"Are you really that dumb? Or is it just pretend?"

"Yes and no!!!" Inosuke exclaimed.

"What?" Remarked Zenitsu.

"Excactly!!"

"Hey, Zenitsu, can you tell us more about your grandfather? He seems very kind." I asked.

He sighed, he wasn't crying anymore, so that was good. "Well, he's just Gramps. He has an obsession with his eyes, advertisement and trees. And every single day he gets even more annoying, if that's even possible!!"

"Wow! You're so lucky to get to see your grandfather every day!!"

"I mean.. I live in his house so why wouldn't I see him everyday?"

"Oh! Uh well.. my dad's dead too. I'm sorry about that."

Inosuke seemed to get uncomfortable.

"It's okay, Gramps is great. Most of the time.. sometimes I don't even notice I don't have a mother. That is.. until mother's day rolls around...."
