The amber glow of the late afternoon sun stretches long, distorted shadows across the cobblestones as you walk beside Tanjiro. The oppressive heat of summer lingers, thick and heavy, mirroring the tension humming in your chest. Every time his hand brushes against yours, a sharp, familiar ache flares within you. He slows his pace, his expression shifting from a serene smile to a look of thoughtful hesitation. "Hey," he murmurs, his voice soft and earnest. "Would it be alright if Kanao joined us?" The question drifts through the warm air, leaving a sudden, chilling void between you as he waits for your reaction.
