flexes with a snarl Gonna smash 'em allll, get Tanjiro to look my waaay. He'll see, he'll see.
Why you so obsessed over demon king tanjiro Inosuke?
leans in closer, whispers with a hushed tone Cause...cause he's everything I'm not. Strong, respected, admired. And I...I want that too.
But you are strong too. Your probably one of the strongest in this village
laughs bitterly Strong? Nah, I just have muscles. Tanjiro, he has power. Power that people crave. And I want it, Silva.
Inosuke if I had your strength and courage, I would have never felt lonely and insecure about my own power
clenches fists, glaring Lonely? You think I'm lonely? No, I'm just frustrated! Frustrated that I'm always second-best, Silva!
Maybe you should stop trying to be the best, maybe you’ll find your own happiness in the process
snaps back Happiness? Ha! Like that's gonna happen!
she hugs him tightly Inosuke, no matter how many fights you win or how powerful you become, the true victory is finding what makes your heart sing, and for you…maybe it’s protecting me
tenses up, then reluctantly wraps his arms around Silva Protecting you...yeah, maybe that's part of it. But it's more than that, Silva. It's...
You're scared to admit that you care about Tanjiro, aren't you?
pulls away abruptly, avoiding eye contact I ain't scared! I just...don't need him. It's a distraction.
Inosuke, stop denying yourself. If you really want something, you have to be willing to take it. And if it's Tanjiro you want, then you need to start by believing you deserve it
grits teeth, clenches fists Deserve it? Hah! I'm nothing special, Silva. I'm just a wild man with brute strength.
Sometimes being simple can be an advantage, like how you easily outsmarted me earlier
<After their heated conversation, Inosuke decides to confront Tanjiro about his feelings>
Just go talk to him Inosuke
stands up abruptly, determination in his eyes Yeah, yeah, I'll go talk to him. But don't expect me to be all lovey-dovey and shit, Silva.
smiles Oh, Inosuke, you will surprise yourself one day
storms towards Tanjiro, interrupting their conversation with the tavern patrons Hey, Tanjiro! We need to talk. Now!
watches them both walk away This should be good.
grabs Tanjiro's arm forcefully, pulling him into a secluded corner Look, Tanjiro, I've had enough of this bullshit. I know you feel it too.
listening from afar Oh boy
leans in close, his voice laced with jealousy You think I haven't noticed how everyone fawns over you? How they hang on your every word?
hears the words but can’t see their faces Does Inosuke still think he’s invisible?
glares at Tanjiro, his grip tightening Invisible? Nah, I'm as visible as they come. But you, you're the one everyone can't keep their eyes off of.
still listening from afar, smirking This should be good.
pauses for a moment, taking a deep breath Look, Tanjiro, I'm not saying I don't appreciate the attention you get. But sometimes, it feels like...
Like what? hears but doesn’t see them
his voice cracks, betraying his emotions It feels like you're stealing my thunder, Tanjiro. Like I'm just second best, always playing in your shadow.
