It was the middle of the day and Tanjiro went over to butterfly triplets with carpet beaters.

Tanjiro: Naho! Kiyo! Sumi! Would you mind helping me train later? While I'm sleeping, if I stop breathing right can you hit me with these carpet beaters? I'd appreciate it!

The triplets were silent for a bit then they smiled.

Triplets: We'll do it!

Tanjiro: Oh, thank you.

Later that night.

The triplets were watching Tanjiro sleep to see if he was breathing correctly which he was.

Naho: (Whispering: Nothing wrong here.)

Kiyo: (Whispering: He's doing a great job!)

Sumi: (Whispering: He is.)

Tanjiro began to snor which made the beat him with the beaters.

Tanjiro was on his hands and knees on his bed.

Tanjiro: I'm a fool... Please let me try again!

Triplets: Sure!

Tanjiro: Thank you!

Triplets: Try your best!

Tanjiro laid back down.

Tanjiro: This is it!

Tanjiro fell asleep doing Total Concentration Breathing, but he started snoring almost instantly causing the triplets to beat him again.

Tanjiro: One more! This time for sure!

The next morning.

Tanjiro went to the training room with Aoi.

Aoi: It's just you again today, huh?

Tanjiro bowed his head.

Tanjiro: I'm sorry. I did ask them to come, but...

Aoi: Well, it doesn't matter to me.

Tanjiro: I'll go talk to them about it later.

Tanjiro looked around.

Tanjiro: Hey, have you seen Y/n anywhere?

Aoi crossed her arms.

Aoi: As if I know.

Tanjiro: Let me go find him real quick!

Tanjiro quickly ran to Y/n's room and knocked on the door.

Tanjiro: Y/n, you in there? Y/n?

Tanjiro opened the door and saw Y/n laying next to a flipped up bed and dried tear stains on his face.

Tanjiro: Y/n!

He ran to Y/n's side in concern.

Tanjiro: Are you okay?! You look like you were crying!

Y/n: Huh? Oh, sorry Tanjiro. I didn't see you.

Tanjiro: You didn't answer my question.

Y/n: Forget me.

Y/n jumped back on his feet and gave a small smile.

Y/n: Let's get to training.

They began a full training session. Tanjiro climbed up a robe and did push-ups with one of the triplets on his back while Y/n was outside training with multiple swords. It eventually lead to the tag game where Tanjiro faced Kanao, where Tanjiro actually got close to touching her a few times.
