"Meow...Meow..."

Tanjiro spit blood. The truth was he bled from everywhere when the cat appeared in front of him. "Oh, hey there..." the poor boy was shaking. "Meow..." The cat didn't care. His bright brown pupils went from the burette to the boy. "Meow..." Was the cat getting impatient? Hard to tell. So the poor boy offered the phial to the animal. "There you go." Once it faded out with the object it seeks, it reaches for the portal of yours and reappears in your arms. "Hello, my friend." that's how Chachamaru was always welcomed back home. Meows and purrs filled the room as your lean fingers caressed the feline. The night was light and fresh, yet again. Why was it that days had so many weathers but the night was always so diligent and stubborn? How did the sun felt again? You forgot.

You had just turned. You remembered the screams, your agony, the taste of blood. Your panic when you realized you were doomed. He had lied. "I will turn you stronger." these were his words. So why did you become a murderer? That was exactly what you had become. From that night, you remembered the little but the woman who came to your aid : Tamayo. She found you and she stood there, silently. Her eyes were warm and kind but empty as if, she felt the very same pain as you. "Oh, child, let me help you." and she kept her word.

The aforementioned lady Tamayo bent down and reached for the little pocket on the cat's harness to gather the blood. Yuchiro, as always, stood by her side. "Tanjiro, as always, does an amazing work." the dame said. "He also almost got killed again. That's poor."

"Yushiro!" Tamayo declared. "That's very harsh." Ignoring the bad-mouthed comment of the boy, you stood up and shooed Chachamaru. "How was he exactly?"

"Terrible."

"Yushiro!"

Ashamed by his mistress lecture, he looked down. "He was wounded and bled a lot. I did see him get rescued through Chachamaru's eyes. He was surely brought to the Butterfly estate where Kocho resides." Shinobu Kocho. She was - reluctantly - working alongside Lady Tamayo to find a cure for demons. "Shall we wish him a good recovery?" Yushiro smirked, mockingly; full of opinions. Tamayo, on the other hand, smiled warmly, knowing how dear the boy was to you. "Of course. May I, however ask of you to bring the updates of my research to Kocho-san?" You nodded.

﹝•••﹞

How come was this woman so full of energy and yet so dull? "Ara, Ara what do you think you're doing here?" Why so full of herself, cold and stubborn? You smiled, staying polite. "I came to bring you Lady Tamayo's notes and visit Kamado-san to inform him of the evolution of the research. It is about his sister after all." you bowed gently. "This is far more beyond Nezuko." If it wasn't for your strong sense of peace and self-conservation, you wouldn't have called out her attitude and taken in her disdain toward your sole existence. After all, you were the monster. Coldly, she fetched the papers out of your hands.  "May I talk to Kamado?"

"He just woke up."

"I must talk to him." The woman turned around, not sparing you a word. That was enough. "Kocho. It seems you despise us. I can accept that. What I won't accept is you refusing to collaborate with each other truly or...should I assume you forgot your promise?" Silence. "I will allow it. Go ahead." You bowed gently. "I am honoured by your acceptance, Kocho-hakase." And you insisted on her academic honorific which you didn't bother to offer her previously.

That was how you found herself by the boy's side. "Kamado."

"I'm not in a coma this time!" You laughed. "Indeed you aren't!"

"I assume you didn't come all this way just for that, did you?" he asked. "No." you sighed. "I came to inform you about the evolution of the cure." In his cranberry eyes sparkled hope at these words, expecting, wishing, praying for the best. It was. "Yushiro and Lady Tamayo think I shouldn't tell you. I disagree. You and Nezuko worked so hard, you hope every day and so, I think that showing you a closer light would appease your torments."

"(y/n)-san..." he whispered, touched.

"The cure is advancing nicely. If the rhythm stays as is, it should be ready in less than 6 months."

All smiles he leaned back against the pillows. Silence full of satisfaction and joy. "Kamado, you know...I think what makes your sister so powerful is her unbreakable spirit. Her refusal to lose herself. Her frustration with being unable to protect anyone back them. The same thought process applies to you as well. I heard you were becoming stronger every day. It's an exploit, truly."

"(y/n)-san..."

Upon your heart rested a weight. The weight of a choice you had to share. "I will offer myself as subject for the experience. I wish to become a human again. Only if you allow me to try it on me first. Our collaboration initially began for your sister's sake and I'd feel selfish without your consent."

He reached for your hand. "You never had to ask me. You must do what you believe in, (y/n)-san."

"Thank you."
