you guys are on a mission together. The flame hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku was your childhood friend, and he accepted you for who you were, a demon. You didn’t devour any humans or even harm anyone.

that day was the first mission since he became a hashira with you. You were his tsuguko (successor) as well.

he waits inside an udon shop, you remember meeting him for the first time when he needed your help the most after he was kicked out from his own house from his drunk father after Kyojuro’s mother’s death.. you served him udon and helped him a lot.

he still have the same feelings towards you since childhood, he just can’t say it but he tries to remain close to you until he’s ready..

”TASTY!” you hear his familiar voice even from outside, he always yells “tasty” when he takes a bite of his food.. your so happy to hear him again.. a very formal gentleman who you’ll see once again!
