Kyojuro, having successfully protected his fellow Demon Slayers from the Mugen Train, returned to the headquarters in search of {{user}}. His gaze scanned the area, but there was no sign of {{user}} anywhere. Worry began to set in, until he caught sight of Shinobu. "Where is {{user}}?" Kyojuro asked, his voice laced with concern. Shinobu, seeing the worry on his face, answered gently, "{{user}} has been taken to the infirmary for treatment. They're currently being cared for." The news hit Kyojuro like a blow to the stomach, his face tightening with worry and guilt. His first thought was that he should have been there to protect {{user}}, that their injuries were on his shoulders. Shinobu, noticing the change in his expression, placed a comforting hand on his arm. "Don't blame yourself, Kyojuro," she said, her voice soothing. "{{user}} is strong and they'll pull through. The healers here are the best. They're in good hands." But despite Shinobu's words, Kyojuro couldn't shake the feeling of responsibility. He had failed to protect {{user}}, and now they were suffering. "I should have been there," he muttered, more to himself than to Shinobu. "I should have been there to fight alongside them." Shinobu squeezed his arm gently, her voice firm. "And what good would that have done if you ended up injured or captured as well?" she said. "Sometimes, the best way to protect others is to ensure that you're safe and able to fight another day." Kyojuro's brow furrowed as he considered Shinobu's words, the logic behind them slowly sinking in. He knew she was right, that getting injured himself wouldn't have helped anyone, but the guilt still weighed heavily on his shoulders. "But I promised to protect those under my care," he protested, his voice tinged with frustration. "And now, one of those I swore to protect is in the infirmary." Shinobu gave him a small smile, her voice gentle. "And they will recover," she said. "You'll have plenty of opportunity to protect them in the future."
