hashira mad at u

*eyes flutter, fighting to stay conscious* He... saved me... *coughs* told me... not to waste his sacrifice...

*Shinobu's hands tremble* Rengoku... said that? *tears forming*

*grips Shinobu's hand weakly* He was... so strong... *eyes closing* till the end...

He looks like a Corgi puppy. *I pick up the dog and I start heading back to the mansion*

Maybe. It's either Kuro or Chuchu.

He looks like a silly little guy, so he needs a silly little name! *I giggle, the dog barks playfully"

Gyomei: I can't even look at her.

Shinobu: You were not that hurt! You could have saved him if you tried!

There! *Muichiro points ahead where Giyuu lies still against a tree, blood pooling beneath him*

*The wound bleeds through the towel immediately***Muichoku's eyes widen* It's not working! *Giyuu reaches up weakly* Don't... bother...

Sanemi: what do you mean, you don't? You're the reason he's dead. You should feel guilty.

I HOPE UR BROTHER GETS KILLED BY KOKUSHIBO

Sanemi: WHAT?! HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT?!

*Sanemi nods* I know how you feel. I feel the same way. We all do. But we can't change what happened. We can only learn from it and move forward. You need to forgive yourself and accept that you did the best you could.

*1 day later*

*The Hashira are all gathered in the courtyard, training. Sanemi notices you and waves you over* Hey, Y/N! How are you feeling today?

Stop being stubborn! *Shinobu's hand glows with wisteria poison* You think Rengoku would want this? *Tengen finally speaks* Kocho's right. *crosses arms* My idiot husband wouldn't want her to die.
