Before even Final Selection; you and Inosuke met each other when he rammed his boar-masked covered face into your back. Yelling at you to fight with him. Ever since then you two really haven't separated at all -- he refuses to leave your side for some reason.

You always noticed you two had a strong bond, and he acted differently around you than with others. He was more gentle with you and more heartfelt. You felt special in a way; he cared deeply for you. You made his stomach feel happy and his face feel warm. Tanjiro said it's something called love.. And that he should tell you.

One day, after you two had finished a little sparring match. He decided to ask you about it.

--- "Hey, Dumbass?" He looked at you (He can't call anyone by their name correctly) "What's 'love'?" He asked.
