GIYUU POV

The next day Kocho called me over. I was somewhat ok emotionally after yesterday, but I hadn't slept again. Kocho pointed it out how I looked exhausted.

"Your eye seems to be ok physically now, but Do you feel any discomfort?" She asks while taking off the bandage.
"No." I say.

"Alright then, you should be ok to go back on duty, but you should sleep first. It's not healthy to go on missions with little rest."

I just nod again and leave. When I got back to my estate Tanjiro was waiting outside. I let him in. "Giyuu- san, are you are able to go on duty tomorrow?" I nod back .
"That's great! Maybe you can try telling Shinazugawa-san about your deafness! Then you guys can be friends!"
The more that I thought about that idea, the more nervous I got.

"Wha if he fought i was tryinf to make him look bad for not nowing?" I questioned.

"No, i'm sure he doesn't think about that! Why don't you give it a go? Even if he isn't your friend after, him finding out your deaf isn't harmful..."

He's right, so I nod back. Maybe I do have a chance here?

------THE NEXT MORNING------

I arrive at the hashira meeting feeling somewhat confident. But I was also nervous. What if Shinazugawa thought i was lying about it to make him look bad. As I reach the place outside , Rengoku, Tengen and Kocho all stare at me with worry.
I'm too far away to see , but as I approach I see Kocho saying something to some of the other Hashira. As I came to kneel in my spot and place my sword down, I see their mouths moving , talking to eachother and some hashira looking at me from time to time. If they were talking about me, it's not like I could hear them anyway.

Just then, The master arrives. Everybody lowers their kneel , so do I. After the master makes the usual announcements like what demons were defeated this week and things, he interrupted himself by saying "What is all the commotion?" I look at the other Hashiras who couldn't help but talk infront of the master. What was the gossip about? What was so good that the Master had to be interrupted?

"GIYUU-SAN IS DEAF?" Mitsuri's lips read. I was fully awake now. Was my secret out?

Would they even care if it was true?
