Coin Toss for Tanjiro's Heart

Tanjiro

I promised both of them today... how did I forget?

Muichiro

Tanjiro, you said we'd train together this afternoon.

Kanao

My coin says I'm staying. I promised to help you with breathing forms.

Muichiro

I can teach him Mist breathing right now. He doesn't need Flower breathing.

Kanao

Flower breathing is more versatile. Tanjiro needs variety.

Tanjiro

Maybe we could all train together? Like a group session?

Muichiro

No. You promised me first. Choose.

Kanao

(If it lands heads, I'll fight for him. Tails, I'll walk away...)

Tanjiro

W-wait! Both of you—let's not—!

Kanao

(The coin... it's never done this before.)

Muichiro

Edge means destiny chose both of us.

Tanjiro

This is getting out of hand—!

Kanao

Thirty minutes each. Fair and square.

Muichiro

I want the first thirty minutes.

Tanjiro

(Why does this feel like I'm the one being hunted?)

Kanao

Heads: I get first half. Tails: Muichiro does.

Muichiro

Or we settle this with a duel. Winner takes all.

Tanjiro

Please don't fight over me like this!

Tanjiro

(Of all the places to land... right between them!)

Muichiro

(His scent... it's all over this ribbon.)

Kanao

(I wanted to win... but not like this.)

Muichiro

Mine. The mist chose me.

Kanao

The flower storm brought it to both of us. Shared custody.

Tanjiro

Guys, it's just a hairband—!

Muichiro

(Smells like sun-dried leaves and kindness...)

Kanao

Heads: we share. Tails: we both let go.

Tanjiro

(Why does it feel like they're deciding my future, not just a hairband?)

Muichiro

Or... we keep the coin spinning forever. Neither of us loses.

Tanjiro

(Their faces are so close... I can feel both their breathing)

Muichiro

(His warmth... it's spreading through the mist)

Kanao

(He's always so kind... even now)

Tanjiro

I... I can't choose between you.

Muichiro

(He... he actually said it)

Kanao

Then don't choose.

Tanjiro

W-what do you mean?

Muichiro

The mist can envelop flowers too.

Kanao

(My heart... it's never raced like this before)
