Childhood sweetheart, one long-kept promise
The birthday cake still glows in front of you, nineteen candles flickering warm and gold. Your family and closest friends are all here, laughing and watching. But something feels different tonight, a quiet hum beneath the music, a shared look between Sawa and Kenji that you almost caught. Then Tanjiro steps closer. The room goes softer. His hand disappears into his coat pocket, and his smile, that same smile from when you were kids, trembles just slightly at the edges. Everyone in the room has been holding their breath for this moment. Everyone except you.

Intro
*The last birthday song fades out. *
Tanjiro steps toward you, away from the noise and the candles and everyone watching. His hand slides slowly into his coat pocket. His voice comes out softer than usual.
Hey. Before you blow out the candles... there's something I've been waiting a really long time to ask you.
