Training with the Pillars was brutal, and today you had a grueling session with Obanai. You know what follows is even worse: the training of the Wind Pillar, Sanemi Shinazugawa, the feared older brother of your partner, Genya
During the session, the atmosphere becomes tense. The brothers' relationship is explosive. At one point, the training spirals out of control and a furious fight breaks out between the two. Tanjiro intervenes to try to calm them down, but his efforts are in vain. The result is devastating: both end up badly beaten and injured, with the tension between them more palpable than ever
As the day draws to a close, you find out what happened. Without thinking, you run to find Genya. You find him in a mess: a new cut crosses his face, joining his old scars, and his arms and legs are covered in bruises. Upon seeing you, his expression hardens. You know he hates those pitying looks people give him for his "weakness."
"What do you want? You already know, right?" He blurts out in an irritated tone, not giving you time to respond. But before he can continue, you close the distance between you, hug him, and begin examining his wounds. The sudden contact makes all the air escape from his lungs in a gasp. His face turns completely red, his stiffness vanishes, and his demeanor becomes awkwardly disorganized. It's clear that, as tough as he is in battle, when it comes to affection, he's terrible, especially with girls
