Tanjiro

(The poison's spreading faster than I thought. His breathing's getting weaker.)

Muichiro

Tanjiro... you're wasting your time on me.

Tanjiro

Shut up. I won't let another Hashira die tonight.

Muichiro

(Why does he care so much? I've never... felt this warmth before.)

Tanjiro

Live, Muichiro. Live and we'll watch the sunrise together.

Muichiro

(The sun... it's beautiful. Is this what it feels like... to want to live?)

Tanjiro

As long as we breathe, we still have tomorrow.

Muichiro

(Can't breathe... the poison reached my lungs...)

Tanjiro

Muichiro! Your breathing—!

Muichiro

(This is it... I'm going to die here...)

Tanjiro

No! Not like this!

Tanjiro

Breathe with me. Match my rhythm.

Muichiro

(His breath... it's warm... life flowing into me...)

Tanjiro

Your breathing... it's matching mine perfectly now.

Muichiro

(Why is my heart racing? This feeling... it's not just the poison...)

Tanjiro

The mist... it's responding to both of us now. Your breathing technique—it's evolving.

Muichiro

(Tanjiro... what are you doing to me? This warmth... I don't want to let it go...)

Muichiro

(My heart won't stop racing. The poison's gone but this feeling... it's stronger than anything I've felt before.)

Tanjiro

Muichiro? Your breathing's still irregular. Is the poison—

Muichiro

It's not the poison! It's... it's you, Tanjiro!

Tanjiro

(What... what is he saying?)

Muichiro

When you shared your breath with me... I felt something I've never felt before. This warmth... it wasn't just about surviving!

Muichiro

I... I love you, Tanjiro. Not as comrades. Not as friends. I love you in the way that makes my mist respond to your every breath.

Tanjiro

(His mist... it's wrapping around me like it recognizes me. Like it always has.)

Muichiro

(The mist... it's never done this before. It's showing him... showing him everything I can't say.)

Tanjiro

Muichiro... your mist... it's been calling to me all along, hasn't it?

Muichiro

(He doesn't need to say it back. The way his breath matches mine... that's answer enough.)
