[ she closes her eyes and is silent for a beat longer than is usual. ]
Thank you for making me one of your options. I'm more grateful than words can say.
[ if she didn't have her haori, i can't imagine how worse she would've been in these last few weeks. ]

[ his dad jokes fall on deaf ears for good reason. ]
I cannot pretend I'm not grateful and that it is the one thing I wanted to have here, more than anything.
[ she would have traded her sword for it, as much as her sword symbolizes and is an extension of herself.
it's something she wouldn't hesitate to be selfish about (even if it also another way of giving up herself). she will not say it would have been fine had it been someone else. ]

Is that so?
[Mementos don't become him. For Sieghart, the blood of his brothers coursing through his veins is more than enough—all that remained after the fire. However, he understands how precious such things may be to others.
And for someone who cares as much as Shinobu . . . ]
You have nothing to be grateful for. I was just trying to help after the mess I left behind.

You could have picked any other name. Even if you were trying to atone, don't belittle how significant it is to me.
[ it may not have been his intent, and he may have known nothing, but that doesn't mean her haori doesn't help her get through life, though living.
accept her gratitude, asshole. ]

Haha . . . Why would I do that? If anything, I should be the one thanking you.
[To him, this and that are different. It didn't begin with his intention, after all. Something so important—she took it back with the force of her heart by impressing her name onto his.]
But all right. If it means that much to you, I'll accept your gratitude.

But I haven't done anything for you.
[ her feelings for sieghart aren't uncomplicated because he killed flayn. possessed or not and though it was ultimately what flayn wanted, it doesn't leave her feelings completely clear.
however, it does put him above the 7rings and chasmas.
she smiles her satisfaction. ]

No, you haven't. But that's not important.
[He doesn't need anything from anyone; he doesn't want, either. She doesn't have to do a thing for him.]
My duty is balance; in other words, to expunge evil. My hands were tied for a while, but I believed yours would move where they needed to go.

[ thinks about how much demon slayer gear says destroy evil
thinks about how close shinobu was to choosing evil this game, ]
Dying does tie one's hands for a while, and I am one who is usually moved by duty first.
[ sometimes, love is part of duty, and sometimes, it's separate. ]

[ no ):
at the end of the day, all shinobu strives to do is save one more person, to keep one more person from feeling the devastation of loss. at the end of the day, she wears the wishes of her dearly departed family like a cloak, like a haori she never wants to be separated from. ]
I did my part, my duty and looking after others both.
[ when she wasn't trying not to break down. ]

[His grin widens.]
I'm the last of the immortal Highlanders. Enduring is what I do.
[So much of what hurt here circles back to old pains. But he's lived with such regrets for many centuries. To tolerate his own existence and continue lasting throughout the ages—those are things he knows how to do.]

If I'm tired, I sleep. Then, when I'm restless, I fight.
[He's a simple man who enjoys a good fight.]
But that's not all. Fact is, if you're too stuck in your own world, you'll collapse with it. The reason I haven't given up is because of all the things I haven't gotten to see or try yet.
