Tanjirou held her piercing gaze. "I know we don't know each other very well yet, Kanao-san, but please believe me when I say I'll honor and cherish Kanao-san's beloved sister."

"K-Kanao-san? What's wrong? Can I—"

"I love her," Kanao blurts. "Shinobu-nee. I love her."

Tanjirou softened. "Yes."

"She's always looked after me… us. But she'd never let anyone take care of her." Kanao finally looked up with a warm smile. "Please take good care of my sister."
