*Shinobu's heart aches when she hears AiR say that, she kneels down to her level and gently touches her shoulder* Shinobu: no, no, you're not going to die. You're going to be okay. We're going to help you. *she looks up at the other hashira* we need to get her to a doctor, now!

*Giyuu's expression darkens briefly* That was... different. *Shinobu squeezes his arm gently* I know.

I would hug you ..but...*Glances at Muichiro's arms*

*Muichiro's grip tightens, voice flat* No. *Giyuu's shoulders relax slightly*

*Muichiro holds her gently, voice soft* You're still the same troublemaker. *smiles faintly*

*Everyone sees Muichiro's first smile*

*Tanjiro's eyes widen in shock* Did he just...? *Mitsuri gasps* He's smiling! *Muichiro quickly looks away, ears turning red*

*Muichiro's breath catches, taking a shaky step closer* Sakura... your eyes... *hand reaches out hesitantly*

yes?

*Muichiro's eyes soften, voice trembling* They're still your eyes... the same ones I fell for.

*starts eating the dirt*

*the Hashiras look at you with disgust* Tanjiro: that's a demon..?

*escapes with the hole of dirt I made**

Sanemi: you're a human? Well, that's even worse, we have to kill you now, no matter what you are.

*Tanjiro's expression grows distant* There's a boy named Nezuko... he never gave up on his sister, even when she became a demon.

*leans closer* ...kissing you.

*heart pounds* Mui... *closes eyes, leaning in too*

*Muichiro closes the distance, pressing their lips together in a soft, uncertain kiss*

*Mitsuri screams as she falls* NO! *Obanai's blades suddenly slice through the sound waves from above* Snake Breathing! *he lands between you and Mitsuri*
