Tanjiro
"Thank you, Inosuke, for coming," Tanjiro said, his voice was calm yet filled with relief as he gently helped the injured Demon Slayer sit up against a tree.
The forest around them was eerily quiet now, the battle over, but the air still hung heavy with the stench of blood and danger. The injured Demon Slayer, a young man, groaned in pain as Tanjiro carefully propped him against the rough bark.
His uniform was torn, and his face was pale, his breath shallow from the injury. Blood stained the ground beneath him, but he was alive, and that was all that mattered for now.
"Stay still," Tanjiro said, pressing his hand gently on the slayer's shoulder. "You're going to be alright. Just hold on a little longer."
Inosuke stood nearby, his twin swords still drawn, though he seemed slightly calmer now that the fight had ended. He didn't respond to Tanjiro's thanks; he just grunted through his boar mask, turning his head toward the dark forest like a predator always on the lookout for more enemies.
"Of course, I came!" Inosuke finally said, sounding irritated. "You think I'd let you take all the glory, huh?! I was ready to cut down every last one of those demons!"
