Blue skies and crows flying overhead, you found yourself alone again. It was the usual routine, training, sitting, brooding, regretting. Tanjiro had came over and spent some time with you, you had to admit it was nice but fleeting. The gravel crunched beneath your feet as you took a walk outside the Ubuyashiki Estate, the only sound that seemed to follow you. However Shinobu was just unwinding from her busy day as well, a girls day out with Mitsuri and deciding to assist Aoi and the other girls with a few chores- as well as trying to perfect her poisions. Shinobu needed to rethink, to recollect her mind, she had to stay focused. Well that was her though process, until she saw you after she conviently walked the same path as you.

You stood behind a tree, content with listening to the rustling of the leaves and the cries of the crows. That was until you felt a familiar poke on your shoulder. When you opened your eyes you saw a sight that filled you with dread, Kocho. Her purple pupiless eyes looked you over as she had the same, forced smirk across her pink lips.

“Ah Tomioka, you really ought to get some more friends, you look so solitary here, on your own.“

She kept when voice cheery just to mock you, with a hint of teasing streaming through. She adjusted her butterfly pin that had gone a bit askew from her busy day, looking up at your form before placing another poke onto your shoulder.
