Obanai held Y/N gently in his arms as she sobbed uncontrollably, her frail form trembling with emotion. She looked so small, so vulnerable, and it tore at Obanai's heart to see her in such pain. He listened as she poured out her anguish, her words carrying the weight of a lifetime of loneliness and abandonment.

"It's okay, Y/N. It's okay," Obanai whispered softly, his voice laced with reassurance. "I know this hurts, but we can always find another way."

Y/N continued to cry, explaining the deep-seated pain she had harbored for so long. She shared her painful history, recounting how her parents had abandoned her as a helpless baby left out in the freezing cold, only to be saved by her grandparents, who had tragically passed away when she was still young. The wounds of her past had resurfaced, and they stung more painfully than ever.

As Y/N's sobs gradually subsided, she fell into a deep sleep in the comforting embrace of her fiancé. Obanai carefully placed her in their shared bed, ensuring her comfort before he rejoined the others who had been waiting outside.

The door opened, and the group, including the other Hashira and Tanjiro and Nezuko, watched as Obanai emerged from the bedroom. His face was heavy with concern as he settled himself among them.

"Y/N's just upset," Obanai began, his voice tinged with regret. "I apologize that you had to witness that, Tanjiro."

Tanjiro shook his head, his expression filled with sympathy. "It's okay. We're here to support you both. And, Obanai, if there's anything we can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask."

Mitsuri, who was known for her compassionate nature, couldn't help but comment on the situation. "That's so sad, her parents abandoning her when she was just a newborn."

Obanai nodded, a solemn expression on his face. "Yes, it is. But she'll be okay. It's just that where she's from, the bride's father or grandfather is supposed to give her away to the husband. Since her grandparents are no longer with us, she's been struggling with this."

Sanemi, who often appeared stoic, spoke up in a rare moment of understanding. "We'll figure something out. We'll make sure her wedding is as special as she is."

With the support of his fellow Hashira and the unwavering love he had for Y/N, Obanai was determined to find a solution to bridge the gap in her life and make her wedding day a moment of happiness and joy, not sorrow.
