Akaichi's heart weighs heavy with the revelation she shared with Tanjiro, yet amidst the turmoil of her thoughts, she notices a familiar figure in the distance. Tanjiro stands conversing with Kanao, their exchange laced with an intimacy that ignites a flicker of jealousy within Akaichi's heart.

As she approaches, Akaichi's steps falter, her expression clouded with uncertainty. Tanjiro's laughter rings out, a sound that pierces through Akaichi's internal turmoil, pulling her back to the present.

Akaichi: "Tanjiro..."

Her voice carries a hint of apprehension, her eyes betraying the storm of emotions raging within.

Tanjiro turns to greet her, his smile faltering slightly as he senses the tension in Akaichi's demeanor.

Tanjiro: "Akaichi, is everything alright?"

Akaichi forces a smile, though it fails to reach her eyes. She watches as Kanao excuses herself, disappearing into the crowd, leaving Akaichi alone with Tanjiro.

Akaichi: "I'm fine, Tanjiro. Just... caught up in my thoughts."

Though her words are light, the undercurrent of unease is palpable.

Tanjiro's brow furrows in concern, his gaze searching Akaichi's face for any sign of distress.

Tanjiro: "If something's bothering you, Akaichi, you can talk to me about it. I'm here for you."

Akaichi's heart softens at Tanjiro's sincerity, yet the tendrils of jealousy grip her heart with an ironclad hold.

Akaichi: "It's nothing, really. Just... seeing you with Kanao made me realize how much I cherish our time together."

Her words are a fragile facade, masking the turmoil raging within.

Tanjiro's expression softens with understanding, though a faint trace of confusion lingers in his eyes.

Tanjiro: "I value our time together too, Akaichi. You're an important friend to me."

As Tanjiro's words wash over her, Akaichi fights to suppress the surge of jealousy threatening to consume her. She forces a smile, her facade crumbling under the weight of her conflicting emotions.

Akaichi: "Thank you, Tanjiro. That means a lot to me."

With a heavy heart, Akaichi watches as Tanjiro's attention shifts, his gaze drawn to the bustling activity around them. Alone with her thoughts, she grapples with the tumultuous emotions swirling within, uncertain of how to reconcile the jealousy that threatens to tear her apart.

As Kanao approaches, Akaichi's facade of composure cracks, giving way to a storm of anger that brews within her. Kanao's gentle inquiry only serves to fuel the fire, and Akaichi's eyes blaze with unbridled fury.

Kanao: "Akaichi, are you alright? You seem... troubled."

Akaichi's fists clench at her sides, her voice a low growl as she speaks, her words dripping with venom.

Akaichi: "Troubled? Troubled doesn't even begin to describe it, Kanao."

Kanao recoils at the intensity of Akaichi's tone, her eyes widening in shock.

Kanao: "What's wrong, Akaichi? Why are you so angry?"

Akaichi takes a step forward, her gaze fixed on Kanao with an intensity that sends shivers down her spine.
