Welcome back, everyone!

I've been busy with tons of homework and failing on my math tests, so I didn't have time to write for this book. I'll try my best to keep updating as soon as possible, because I love this story as much as you guys do.

I made this chapter long to make up for the time we lost!

[☁️]

The butterfly estate, as well as the whole Demon Slayer Corps, was not in a good mood. With all the gloomy stuff that seemed to torment its members lately, they could barely be able to concentrate on slaying demons as per usual. Oyakata-sama was kind enough to understand Shinobu's decision of staying inside the estate, without going into missions, in the hopes of finding something that would prove helpful to your health. It had only been two days, but she was slowly losing hope of ever getting a cure, and everyone else knew that too.

The mist pillar, though, was by far the person whose heart had been devoided of any color whatsoever. He knew that if anything happened to you, he would never be able to feel anything again, like an empty shell, without an ounce of care, worse than how he was before.

His mint-colored eyes were fixed on the apple he was peeling for you to eat, their emptiness now greater as the tiredness of his face due to his anxiety and worry of losing you became greater. Meanwhile, you were looking outside the window to nothing in particular, mainly ashamed of your own decrepit state.

"STOP BEING A CRYBABY AND STAY STILL!"

"THAT'S GONNA KILL ME! YOU'RE TRYING TO KILL ME!"

"ZENITSU— WHERE ARE YOU RUNNING—?"

The silence you two were peacefully engulfed in was interrupted by loud yelling coming from the room next to yours. Muichiro muttered some curses, angered that the loud sounds would disturb you in any way, but when he turned to look at you, his eyes met your shimmering ones. His shoulders slumped as a small, almost invisible smile made it's way to his defeated features. At the very least, you seemed curious to know the source of the yelling, which in turn made you happy, and he adored seeing you like that.

Aoi walked in fuming with anger, but she managed to calm herself down in order to talk to you. "Sorry for the noise, there's some... problems with other patients"

You could barely hold your laughter, puffing your cheeks and covering your mouth with your hands, as you saw her dragging two boys, one on each hand, both badly beaten up by her.
