eyes flicker with a crimson glow, her fangs barely visible as she struggles to speak, her voice strained but urgent. "Sniff me, remember our scent! Safe, yes?"
I walk over, and sniff her from head to toe
gulps, a low growl escaping her throat as her body tenses up. "What do I smell like? Do I still smell like...home?"
You smell like the wild. The untamed forest. The crisp clean air. Clean dirt. Fresh green leaves. And …Blood… I smile warmly at her I remember our scent.
breathes a sigh of relief, her shoulders relaxing and a faint smile forming on her lips. "The wild... untamed... yes, that's it. Home. I'm home."
tilts her head, confusion evident in her eyes. "Today... how am I doing? Am I still me? Am I still Nezuko?"
You are still Nezuko. I hug her gently
leans into the hug, closing her eyes and letting out a soft sigh of relief. "Still Nezuko... I needed to hear that. Thank you."
Hey, we’re gonna get through this together, okay? Whatever happens, we’re together. And I’m with you.
grabs UnicornGarden's hand, her grip firm and determined. "Together, right? Whatever comes our way, we face it together. No matter what."
Exactly! Let’s face whatever comes our way together! I want you to meet someone…a man bursts in through the door, holding his bleeding throat help me get him upstairs so I can patch him up!
drops UnicornGarden's hand and rushes towards the injured man, her eyes scanning his wounds with urgency. "Hold on, let's get you upstairs!
Good girl! we manage to get him upstairs
frantically rummages through the first aid kit, pulling out bandages and antiseptic spray, her hands shaking with adrenaline. "Alright, let's clean your wounds! This might sting a bit!"
Just relax bro. Try not to move. to Nezuko Hold his arms down please?
<As Nezuko holds the injured man's arms down, she accidentally brushes against an old scar on his arm. The scar starts to glow, revealing a hidden symbol that neither Nezuko nor UnicornGarden had ever seen before.>
That symbol seems familiar….I study it carefully
leans in closer, her curiosity piqued, her voice filled with wonder. "What does that symbol mean? Have you seen it before?"
It looks just like my clan mark!
grips the injured man's arm tightly, her eyes wide with realization. "Your clan mark? What does this mean? Are you part of my family too?"
I look just like your brother! You remember Sun Breather right? Your demon brother who went missing when we were young children?
gasps, her hand instinctively gripping onto UnicornGarden's, her voice filled with shock and disbelief. "Sun Breather? But...
I drag him to a mirror…sure enough, he has my face, my hair, everything!
takes a step back, her eyes darting between the injured man and UnicornGarden, her mind racing with questions. "How is this possible? How can he look just like Sun Breather? Tell me everything!"
He IS Sun Breather! He survived all those years ago!
drops to her knees, tears streaming down her face "Sun Breather... alive? After all these years... I can't believe it!"
Oh my god…looks like all those nights I spent trying to track him down didn’t go to waste!
stands up abruptly, wiping away her tears, her voice filled with determination "We need to find answers! We can't waste any more time! Show me everything you've got, every clue, every record! I want to know everything about Sun Breather's past!"
Okay! I’ve always kept everything
grabs UnicornGarden's hand and leads him towards the stacks of papers and documents on the table, her eyes shining with intensity.
We’ve been living in these mountains for generations. I shuffle through papers for awhile before coming to one specific one Aha! Found it!
snatches the paper from UnicornGarden's hands, her eyes scanning it eagerly. "What does it say? Tell me, tell me now!"
It says my full name is…Touka Sun Breather. My nick name is Sun Breather for short.
jumps up and down excitedly, clapping her hands together "Touka Sun Breather?! That's incredible! Your full name... it's so beautiful! How did you never tell me before?"
I think we should leave him here and head back home. I think there’s a lot more to discuss.
<Nezuko and UnicornGarden decide to bring the injured man, who turns out to be Sun Breather, back to their home to continue discussing his identity and their family's history.>
How ya feeling? I give him some water
sits next to Sun Breather, her eyes filled with genuine concern "How are you feeling? Can you tell us more about what happened to you?"
Sorry bro, I just don’t remember anything at all….
leans forward, her voice tinged with excitement "That's alright! We'll figure it out together. Don't worry, we're here for you, Sun Breather!
Sun Breath come stay by me, I’ll keep you warm.
grabs Sun Breather's hand and pulls him towards the bed "Of course! Come on, let's get you comfortable. I'll make sure you're warm and cozy."
Here, have some of my blood. I hope it’s okay, I know I shouldn’t, but…what the heck, times of war and all. What the hell, drink up!
hesitates for a moment, looking at Sun Breather with concern "Are you sure about this? Drinking blood... it's not safe, is it?"
I laugh as I chug a bottle of blood, belching afterwards. “Phew, that hit the spot! How are you feeling now?”
raises an eyebrow, her tone playful yet slightly teasing "So, drinking blood is like a refreshing soda to you, huh? Quite the unique taste, I must say. But seriously, Sun Breather, are you feeling any different after consuming it?"
