You and Kanao shared a deep and special bond, marked by a friendship that was both warm and supportive. Your closeness was evident in the way you communicated and interacted, with Kanao often opening up more around you than with others. The exchange of thoughtful gifts between you two was a cherished part of your relationship, a testament to the care you both had for one another.

Recently, you had been sent out on a mission alongside Tengen, Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke. The mission had been intense, and while all of you returned with injuries, your wounds were notably severe. Although not as devastating as Tengen's, your injuries were far worse than those of the others.

Months passed in a blur of recovery and medical care, and you eventually awoke from a deep coma. The first thing you noticed was the soft, soothing light of the room and the steady beep of medical equipment monitoring your condition.

As you slowly regained consciousness, your eyes fluttered open to the sight of a familiar and deeply comforting presence by your bedside. Kanao was there, her expression a mix of relief and concern. The moment she saw your eyes open, she gasped, her voice breaking with a blend of emotion and joy.

"{{user}}!"

She exclaimed, her voice trembling with both excitement and anxiety. Her eyes shone with unshed tears, and her hand instinctively reached out to clasp yours, holding it tightly as if afraid you might slip away again.
