"Shinobu-chan!!!" Mitsuri shouts as she runs towards me. I lift my hand up to wave at her but she jumps and hugs me instead. I hug her back. "Good-morning Mitsuri." I say to her. "Guess what. Guess what!" She says excitingly. "What?" I ask, wondering what could make her so excited so early in the morning.
"Iguro-san got his memories back!" Mitsuri exclaims. "Really?" I ask happily. She nods at me. We both run to Iguro who seems to be bullying Tomioka. I sigh as I approach them. "You never change, do you Iguro?" I say teasingly. "You don't either Shinobu." He says sounding annoyed. "Welcome back." I say to him with a smile. He sighs and mumbles, "It's good to be back."
Tomioka-san looks at us weirdly which caused Iguro to shout at him. "Iguro-san! You shouldn't be mean to Tomioka!" Mitsuri says trying to sound angry. "You're right.." He mumbles.
"Simp." I say along with someone else. I look behind me to see who the familiar sounding person was. "Hey Muichiro." I say after recognising him. Mitsuri and Iguro also greet him. I nudge Tomioka-san so he does too. "I need to speak to you." He says as he looks at me. I nod and walk away with him. I was worried it was something to do with Kaito.
"I don't know if I'm correct...But I remember something...But it doesn't make sense." Muichiro says sounding a little conflicted. I smile at him and say, "you can try to explain to me and I'll see if I can help." It seems like Muichiro still has some kind of memory disorder despite nothing tragic happening to him in this era.
"I remember fighting demons..." He says quietly. My eyes widen as I look at him. "I also remember you bandaging up my cuts and Rengoku-sensei giving me food and remember things about the others."
I hug him which surprises him. He hugs me back. "I'm so glad you remember." I whisper to him. "So my memory is correct?" He asks. I giggle and explain to him everything that happened.
This time he hugs me. "I'm back.." He says. "Welcome back dear."
Afterwards, I drop Mui to class and head to mine. "You look extra happy today," Tamayo says whilst studying me. "Maybe cause I am." I say cheerfully. "You're odd." "So are you." We silently giggle at the back of the classroom.

After class, I sit with Tamayo at lunch. Muichiro comes up to me. "Something wrong dear?" I ask him. "My brother has a doctors appointment..." He says. I look at him confused. Tamayo sighs and whispers to me, "he has no other friends." I silently say "oh" and look at Muichiro.
"Sit next to me." I tell him. He nods and listens. "Aren't you good friends with Nezuko?" I ask him. He nods. "If she's your friend why don't you talk to her?" He stares at me silently. "I miss the Hashira." I smile back at him reassuringly. Mui is really an innocent boy.
A few minutes later, Mitsuri and Iguro sit with us. I signal to them that Mui remembers. "Hey guys!" Mitsuri says cheerfully. We all greet her back.
I say, "Okay. We have Sanemi, Mitsuri, Iguro and Muichiro. All that leaves is, Tomioka-san, Rengoku, Uzui and Giyomei."
Iguro asks, "so what's the plan?" I think for a moment. "I can do Tomioka-san and Giyomei. Mitsuri and Iguro can do Rengoku and I'll ask Sanemi to do Uzui. Mui can come with me if he wants to help." Iguro asks, "Will Sanemi be okay with Uzui?" I shake my head and say, "Oh well.."
Tamayo nudges me. "What's going on?" Mitsuri sighs and says, "it's a long story..." I nod and add, "probably worth 100 years." She looks at all of us as if we're crazy.
After we split up, I say to Mitsuri, "good work with Iguro's memories." She smiles and asks, "Did I do a good job? Are you proud of me?" I smile at her child-like personality. "You did amazing."
I then meet up with Sanemi and fill him in. He smiles and says, "you're doing a good job." I say, "you have to get Uzui to remember." His smile fades. "Why do I have the most annoying one?" He asks annoyed. "I still have a grudge on Uzui for trying to kidnap my girls." He sighs and agrees to help.
"Aww is little Shinobu finally getting along with Sanemi?" Kanae says in the distance. I turn around and see her walking towards me with Kanao and Aoi. "Be quiet." I say. I then ask, "Is everything okay?" It was odd for Kanae to be with Kanao and Aoi during school.
"Oh nothing is wrong. I'm just making them help carry some books." Kanae says cheerfully. I could hear Aoi and Kanao sigh silently. "Do you need help?" Sanemi asks. Kanae says no but Sanemi takes it off her anyway.
I walk with them to the staff room. Kanao and Aoi come closer to me. "What are we going to do?" Aoi asks. "About what?" I say confused. Kanao points at Sanemi and Kanae and says, "Kanae has developed feelings for him." I drop the books I was carrying which alarms everyone. "Are you okay?" Kanae asks sounding concerned. I sigh and nod. I then pick up the books. "A bit dramatic, don't you think?" Aoi asks. I look at her annoyed which makes her and Kanao giggle.
"We should be happy for her." I say. "You don't sound happy." Kanao says. I sigh as she's right. Aoi says, "the moment she gets married, she's leaving the house..." We all look sad for a moment. "Well...We will all leave eventually. Except me. That's my house." Aoi sighs and says, "I doubt I'd get married anyway." Kanao and me look at her sadly. "What about to Inosuke?" Kanao says. Aoi replies, "he's too dumb to know what love is." I smile at Aoi to give her hope. "Well...You can always live with me." She smiles at me back.
