Tengen looked down at the people with slightly narrowed eyes. He sat atop a roof, waiting. ... He had been waiting for two hours now, and he hadn't spotted [NAME]. She was at the Kyogoku House for two weeks, and she hasn't written to him. The fact that he couldn't find her made him curse himself internally.
"Ugh... I knew I should've brought demon slayers..." He murmured, his heart pounding in his chest from the fear of what could've happened to [NAME].
Tengen continued to sit there for a while, clinging to the hope that he might see her, but he didn't. So, with a sigh, he stood and left, deciding that he would look to the Butterfly Estate for help.

[NAME] wondered if Daki even wanted her to go back to the infinity castle. She was stuck in Daki's room for over two weeks, which would've been nice if she wasn't suffocating. The good thing about it, though, was the fact that she brought her bodies every day for her to eat.
Whenever Daki was gone, Gyutaro would stay with her to guard her. He wasn't any better, as he constantly hovered over her, too.
[NAME] couldn't tell if it was day or night, as the girls of the House were constantly moving regardless of the time. The room was a mess, and usually, Gyutaro was with her, but Daki sent in one of the young girls of the House to clean it up, so he was hidden in the shadows. The girl was roughed up, with messy hair and a bruise on her cheek.
[NAME] simply watched her, feeling slightly uncomfortable as she slowly cleaned. However, she didn't get much done before she started breaking down into tears. [NAME], uncertain of what to do, looked away. After a while, someone else came into the room. She looked to see who it was, and... was thoroughly confused.
It was... a girl? ... She didn't look very much like a girl... In fact, she seemed like a boy with a bunch of makeup caked onto her face.
...
"Zenitsu...?" [NAME] uttered.
The 'girl's' eyes flickered up at [NAME], seeming to only just notice 'she' soothed the girl. [NAME] could quickly tell that it was, in fact, Zenitsu when his eyes widened and lit up. He completely forgot about the girl and instead rushed over to [NAME], throwing his arms around her.
"[NAME]-channnn!!!" He exclaimed, squeezing her tight.
[NAME] pursed her lips nervously, and glanced at Gyutaro's spot where he was hiding. She couldn't see him very well, but she could almost feel the anger radiating off of him. Zenitsu suddenly lifted his head from the crook of her neck and looked in the same direction that [NAME] was looking. He raised a hand to touch his ear, his eyes widening slightly.
"[NAME]..." He uttered, seeming to realize that there was a demon in the room with them.
He tensed when Daki walked into the room. He didn't look back at her, but he seemed to notice that she was a demon, too. Daki looked down at him with disdain and a slightly wrinkled nose.
"What are you doing in someone else's room?" She demanded, her voice cold. Zenitsu said nothing, simply holding onto [NAME] shakily. "Hey! Are you deaf?"
"W-Warabihime Oiran..." Said a quiet voice from the doorway. Sitting there were two little girls who were shaking violently. "That's the girl who came in yesterday..."
Daki looked back at them, their words only seeming to make her angrier.
"So what of it?"
"I'm sorry for just barging in!" Zenitsu suddenly said, catching Daki's attention again, "The room was a complete mess, and there was a girl crying..."
Zenitsu faced Daki, causing her to sneer in disgust.
"You're so unsightly, it's making me nauseous. Wouldn't the world be better off if you died? And what's with your head? It's pissing me off. And let go of that woman! She's not yours to cling to!" She then turned her attention to the crying girl. "True, the room is a mess right now, and I told this girl here to clean it up."
Daki suddenly grabbed the girl by her ears, causing her to yelp and bleed. She shouted at the crying girl, her grip seeming to get tighter. Suddenly, Zenitsu left [NAME]'s side and went to Daki. He gripped her wrist, causing her to look back at him.
"Get your hands off of her...!" He demanded.
The room was silent for a moment before, in a split second, Daki backhanded Zenitsu, sending him flying through the wall unconscious. [NAME] looked on in shock. Some chats erupted down the hallway, but ultimately, Daki wasn't blamed. Zenitsu was taken away, and the young girls cleaned up the mess in the room before Daki sent them away again.
Daki, Gyutaro, and [NAME] were alone in the room once more. [NAME] sat next to Daki as Gyutaro rested his head on her shoulder.
"... [NAME]?" Daki hummed, gazing at herself in a mirror.
"Yes, Daki?"
"Tell me... Was that new girl a demon slayer? The way she held onto you made it seem like you knew each other."
[NAME] pursed her lips slightly, glancing at Daki.
"... I don't know..."
Daki sighed and looked at [NAME], seeming slightly annoyed.
"[NAME]... This isn't fair... I got so jealous when he held onto you like that... Why did you do that?"
[NAME] felt Gyutaro grip her shoulders, causing her to tense. She tried to move away, but she couldn't.
"Daki..."
"Don't worry, [NAME]... I just need to get my point across! It shouldn't hurt... too badly."

𖹭 Muzan knows that something is off with Daki.
𖹭 At this point, [NAME] doesn't know if she can trust anybody.
𖹭 Tanjiro immediately knew that [NAME] was still at the red light district because he picked up on her scent.
