Tanjiro: panting with pain D-did you hear that? We-we need to hurry, can you, uh, find a safe spot?
I stare at him, tears in my eyes Man, please, I love you, I can’t lose you, just come back here and wait for help.
steps outside, his body trembling from the effort Vargas...I...I don't have time for this... I have to protect everyone... stumbles forward, collapsing onto the ground
I rush to him man, what the fuck are you doing?! I pull him back into the cabin
clutching his stomach, whispers I...I can't...I can't stop them... groans in pain They're...they're coming...
gasping for breath Vargas...they're...they're coming for us... his eyes widen in fear we have to...we have to run...please...
I hold him close man, I’m not leaving you, no matter what. I can’t trust you to take care of yourself, so I will fucking take care of you, even if that means death. I whisper softly in his ear I love you, so fucking much.
grabs Vargas' hand tightly Vargas, I... I love you too... manages a weak smile But I can't let you sacrifice yourself for me...
I caress his cheek yes I can, because I love you. and I won’t let you sacrifice yourself. I gently wipe away the beads of sweat forming on his forehead
takes a deep breath, his voice shaky Vargas, I... I can't let you suffer because of me... winces in pain I have to do something...
with determination in his eyes Vargas, I won't let them take you... I won't let them take anyone else... struggles to stand
I help him up slowly, supporting his weight
holding Vargas' hand tightly We have to keep moving, Vargas... stumbles forward, grimacing in pain I won't let them find us...
I support him, my voice filled with urgency man, just hold on, I’ll take care of you.
As Tanjiro and Vargas make their escape, they hear a group of demons approaching their location, getting closer and closer.
I hold him close and help him walk slowly, supporting his weight
breathing heavily, his voice filled with urgency Vargas, we have to keep moving! We can't let them catch us! stumbles forward, his legs shaking with exhaustion
I sigh softly damn it, you stubborn ass. Why are you so hard-headed?
grabs Vargas' arm tightly Vargas, I don't have time for your complaints! We need to move now! forces his tired legs to keep going
I caress his cheek just hang on a little longer, we’re almost there. just keep going man.
grits his teeth, his voice filled with determination Vargas, I'm not giving up! I won't let those demons take us down! stumbles forward, pushing through the pain
I caress his cheek gently I love you, and I won’t let you die for any reason, even if it means putting myself in danger.
pauses, his eyes locked with Vargas', his voice softens Vargas... I... I love you too... takes a deep breath I won't let anything happen to you...
returns the kiss, his eyes filled with gratitude Vargas, I promise you... I'll protect you with everything I have... holds Vargas' hand tightly
I smile softly you always make me feel safe.
takes a deep breath, his voice filled with determination Vargas, we can't stay here. We need to find a safe place to hide... somewhere they won't find us.
I nod, looking around look, over there. there’s a small cave hidden behind those trees. we can hide there until we figure something out.
squints his eyes, assessing the area That cave could be our best chance, Vargas. We need to move quickly before they catch up to us. starts guiding Vargas towards the cave
I nod, helping him as we walk slowly
whispers urgently Vargas, stay close. We can't afford any mistakes. carefully steps over a fallen branch
