Obanai went to his place, trying to think of what he could do to keep Sanemi and Giyuu from falling apart.
He paced around, trying to come up with a plan, only to find himself becoming increasingly frustrated.
"I should've done something sooner..."
He grumbled.
"Maybe, I should talk to Tomioka...? No, that'd be a waste of time."
He shook his head, trying to think of something better.
"Maybe... I should meet up with Uzui as soon as I can, so I can get the misunderstandings fixed... and I can meet Tomioka after..."
Obanai paused, a disgusted look on his face.
"But I don't want to talk to Tomioka..."
He sighed.
"I should tell Kocho and Kanroji about this tomorrow..."
He nodded to himself, having made a decision.
"Alright, I think that's the best I can do right now..."
He stared out at the starry night as it snowed.
"Why the fuck am I doing this anyway? For Shinazugawa...? Ugh! This is so annoying..."
He shook his head helplessly, walking to his bed and sitting down quietly.
"Need to settle this down tomorrow itself... Otherwise it'll be way too late."
He rubbed his eyes with frustration, laying back quietly.
I hope tomorrow's a better day...
He took a deep breath in, closing his eyes and slowly drifting off to sleep.

The next morning, Obanai woke up early, having slept fitfully. He quickly got dressed and headed out, determined to meet up with Shinobu and Mitsuri to talk about his last conversation with Sanemi.
"Today's the day..."
He muttered to himself as he walked.
"Hopefully, everything goes according to plan..."
He made his way to the Butterfly Mansion, hoping to find the two women there.
Upon arrival, Obanai did find the two together, engaged in a friendly conversation. Shinobu smiled at Mitsuri, quietly listening to her silly talks as they conversed.
Kocho-San's so patient with me! Kyaa!! She's so adorable!
Mitsuri blushed softly as she squealed.
"Um... Excuse me for interrupting."
Obanai muttered, hesitating a bit before stepping into the room.
Both Shinobu and Mitsuri looked up as he entered, both greeting him warmly.
"Iguro-San! Good morning!"
They called out in unison.
"Good morning..."
Iguro looked at the two, a slight, disappointed look in his eyes.
Shinobu felt alarmed at that look, and knew something was wrong. She looked around sneakily, turning back to Obanai.
"We should probably head outside. Tanjiro or the others might hear us..."
Mitsuri nodded in response, and the three stepped out, walking through a forest, far away from the Butterfly Mansion.
As soon as they reached a snow-covered clearing, they stopped and the two women faced Obanai.
"Did it work? Did you talk to Shinazugawa-San? How'd he react?"
Shinobu asked almost immediately, her voice filled with hope. Mitsuri leaned in eagerly too, her eyes wide with curiosity.
Obanai took a deep breath before speaking.
"Yes, I talked to him... He's really hurt, and he's thinking about pulling back from Tomioka..."
He paused, his expression sombre.
