Seo-rin was in a huge dilemma after Kagaya told her a disturbing truth earlier. What's this? The person who cared so much about his own subordinates is an undercover agent of the Dark Tunnel? Until the day of his resignation, no one knows about his true identity.
The time on the clock on the kitchen's wall was 10PM. Seo-rin only rested her head on the table, slowly drew a circle using her finger.
"Seo-rin?"
Seo-rin raised her upper torso when she spotted Kanae stood not far from her.
"Unnie" Seo-rin glanced at her.
Kanae took her seat next to Seo-rin.
"What's the matter? You looked very tired" Kanae commented.
"I just...have a lot of work to do" Seo-rin rubbed her forehead. "Maybe I can take a leave for one day to clear my mind"
"I guess the Intelligence Division isn't same like before after Momori-san and Aleshin-san quitted, right?" Kanae was referring to the former agents.
"You're right, unnie" Seo-rin lowered her head in distress.
Seo-rin then pulled out her smartphone to check the notifications. And she just received a message from her mother.
"Don't forget your sister's birthday tomorrow (smile emoji)"
Seo-rin only replied with a cartoon 'Okay!' sticker. A soft smile was formed on her lips.
...
It was bad experience for Zenitsu tonight. He got lost in the haunted maze, getting chased by fake ghosts and even got kicked by Takeo for trying to hug Nezuko. In truth, he doesn't want to go there anymore. The haunted maze is a very worse place for him.
Zenitsu was supposed to go to sleep right now. He tried to close his eyes but he couldn't. His eyes only kept staring at the ceiling instead.
The Agatsuma briefly glanced at the yellow round digital alarm clock on the nightstand. The current time was 12:45PM, about five hours and fifteen minutes left before 6AM.
"I can't sleep, but I've a mission tomorrow..." Zenitsu muttered.
"Hahahaha!"
Out of sudden, Zenitsu could heard Inosuke's laughter from the outside. He wondered, what was the pretty boy doing on the streets when it's already late night? He then woke up from the bed before walked towards the window.
However, when Zenitsu slowly pulled away the lemon tree patterned curtains, his eyes widened in shock.
Instead of Inosuke, he saw the same 'boar-headed human' from his previous mission ran on the streets.
"Inosuke! "Wait for me! Inosuke!"
Zenitsu then heard a familiar male voice.
And his intuition was right after all. Soon, Otto was chasing the boar-headed human from behind.
Wait a minute. Something was wrong.
Zenitsu spotted Tanjirou and Nezuko ran together, probably chasing the boar-human hybrid too. But there's an another person with the Kamado siblings too, and it was... ANOTHER HIM!?
The blonde boy was confused, what's the meaning of this? Why Otto addressed that boar-headed human as Inosuke? And how could two Zenitsus existed in the same place and time?
Felt terrified, Zenitsu finally collapsed on the floor.
...
"Inosuke?"
Inosuke watched a cooking show in the late night when he noticed his mother, Kotoha walked towards the couch he sat. His foster grandmother, Hisa was already sleep in her bedroom.
"Mommy?" Inosuke's green eyes looked at his mother.
Kotoha then sat next to Inosuke.
"You should go to sleep right now, it's already late" Kotoha said out of concern. "You can't focus on your mission if you're sleepy"
"But I can't sleep, mommy" Inosuke replied.
"Alright, let me help you"
Kotoha then pulled her son gently on her lap.
"You can tell me if you can't sleep" Kotoha said again.
Inosuke could felt the warmth touch of his mother's hand as she gently patted his head. Soon, his eyes were slowly closing as he finally drifted into a sleep. It was a peaceful moment for the mother and son.
"Sweet dreams, my son" Kotoha smiled.
Meanwhile, outside of the Hashibira residence, the same worker who was interviewed by Kyoujurou in the warehouse was chased by a stray bulldog on the street.
"Help me! Help me!" the worker screamed for help.
