Third Person:
Nezuko was sewing a white cloth.
Hot pink: Sumiko, do you have a minute?
Nezuko: Sure!
Hot pink: Sorry to bother you, but we're short-staffed. Could you help carry these upstairs?
Nezuko: It'd be my pleasure. I'll take care of it, no problem.
Hot pink: Thank you, Sumiko. Nice to have a hard worker around. I apologize for removing your makeup yesterday. I feel like it's partially our fault that the House Madam found that scar of yours.
Man: I Relax, my dear! There's no use lashing out at this poor child!
Nezuko: I'm fine, just thankful that they're letting me work here.
Nezuko carried all the bags away.
Turquoise: My, my. That new girl is rather burly.
Hot pink: Indeed.
Two girls in orange kimonos closed a door.
Ora: They say the Kyogoku House's Madam died from falling out of a window.
Nge: That's awful. Let's be careful OK? And have you noticed some of the older girls running away, committing ashinuke?
Ora: That's scary.
Nezuko peeked in through the doorway.
Nezuko: What even is ashinuke?
Nge: That's a lot of baggage to carry.
Nezuko: There we go. I think they're all gifts for oiran Koinatsu.
Ora: You said you've never heard of ashinuke? It's probably a good thing you haven't. "Ashinuke" means to run away without paying off your debts.
Nge: And it's really bad if you get caught.
Nezuko: Why do they do that?
Ora: Some people try running away in order to be with the man they're in love with.
Nge: Right, like lady Ume did the other day.
Ume? That's Mr. Shabana's sister.
Nezuko: Listen...
Koinatsu: You two shouldn't be spreading rumors. After all, nobody knows her whereabouts now. Who knows what happened to her?
Orange: Fine.
Koinatsu: You bought these up by yourself? Thank you.
Nezuko: It's my pleasure.
Koinatsu: Come here.
Koinatsu put a bag in Nezuko's hands. Nezuko blushed a little.
Koinatsu: Take this candy as my thanks. Keep it secret, or you'll have to share it.
Ora: Hey, I want some candy.
Nge: Me too! Me too!
Koinatsu: Now, now. I gave you some earlier.
Nezuko: Uhm... Did Miss Ume really commit ashinuke?
Koinatsu: ... May I ask why you're so curious about that?
She has her guard up, but I've got to find a way around it and ask about Ume.
Nezuko: It's just...
Ora: Candy, please.
Nezuko: Miss Ume is— she's actually... Believe it or not... she's my... cousin.
