After what seemed like an eternity of three weeks, [Y/N]'s awakening from her coma was probably the best thing that could have happened to the residents and guests of Butterfly Estate. It was a stark contrast to the mood of the past few weeks. While they had been filled with despair and sadness, now they were filled with happiness and relief.

The countless tears shed in happiness were almost uncountable. It seemed almost impossible to comfort the three boys and the youngest butterfly girls. Even Kanao and Aoi couldn't control their own emotions properly, after all, this was probably the most stressful thing that had happened to their poor souls in a long time. Shinobu was the only one who tried to handle the situation as calmly as possible, no matter how difficult it was. Like the others, she was overwhelmed with happiness, but as a doctor, she couldn't let it take over her control of the girl's condition. Besides, there would be plenty of time for her to let her own joy take over.

The group, standing by the tired girl's bed, couldn't relax. Tanjiro and Zenitsu clutched the poor girl's burdened body almost desperately, while Inosuke filled the otherwise quiet room with his own loud, growling sounds. The youngest girls tried to get closer to let out their own pain, while the two older ones watched over them, as the boys were too wrapped up in their own happiness to pay much attention to the younger ones. Aoi's own tears fell onto the nurse's uniform as she clung tightly to the bed, while Kanao stood behind Tanjiro, looking at her with worried but relieved eyes. Shinobu was close to the boys as she held the girl's hand, allowing her to release her relief for a moment.

"[Y/N]! God, I missed you so much! You can't imagine how devastated I was to see you lying there motionless." Tanjiro cried out as his tears stained the soft fabric of the blanket. His hands tightened around her and he wouldn't let go for a moment. His poor heart couldn't handle letting her go from his arms again. Everything was okay now. She was there as she should have been. Tired, but safe and at peace, but with the pain and helplessness.

"[Y/N]-chan! Why did you have to leave me alone for so long?! It was hell without you!" Zenitsu shouted. Others might find his words exaggerated, but those who were close to him knew that he had truly been through hell in the real world. His enthusiastic, energetic, easily perceptible personality had almost ceased to exist in those three weeks, but now it had regained itself.

"You shouldn't have slept for so long, Balloon! How am I supposed to protect you if you're not even awake?!" Inosuke growled, but from the small tremors in his body, it was easy to tell that he was only pure worry. His words might have sounded like he meant to be devastating, but in reality they were only showing his own insecurities and worries. Even he, a truly wild, bold, and confident boy, could be vulnerable.
