But Tanjiro's hesitation ran deeper than just inexperience.
"Kanao is emotionally underdeveloped; she needs you, Tanjiro! You must accept this responsibility. Rejecting her will severely impact her personality, potentially distorting it. The heart she's opened could close forever because of you."
"Tanjiro, you're kind. Kanao only has a future with you. You brought her out of her isolated world; you must protect her, just as you protect Nezuko."
Ryuji understood Tanjiro's reluctance wasn't a lack of affection for Kanao, but a lack of experience in romance.
Ryuji chose to highlight the gravity of rejection, hoping Tanjiro's inherent kindness would lead him to accept Kanao.
Ryuji knew Tanjiro valued relationships deeply. A relationship with Kanao, while lacking the grand romantic gestures, would offer a steadfast, genuine affection—the kind most people yearn for.
For a child like Kanao, a kind and honest boy like Tanjiro was the ideal partner.
Tanjiro began to waver. Kanao's openness and willingness to follow her heart were undeniably linked to him.
Tanjiro found Ryuji's words reasonable, but his complete lack of romantic experience left him utterly flustered.
"Ryuji-senpai, but I've never been in a relationship with a girl before. This is too much to ask!" Tanjiro still hesitated.
"You idiot! You didn't hesitate or feel shy when you said goodbye to Kanao, did you?!" Ryuji retorted, before instructing Tanjiro.
"There's nothing to worry about. Accept Kanao. Treat her as you normally would. Show her more care and attention, give her half the affection you give Nezuko, treat her like family!"
"If you're still confused, think about how your father treated your mother," Ryuji added, prompting Tanjiro to reflect on his parents' relationship.
Tanjiro fell silent, touched by Ryuji's concern. He felt like Ryuji was an older brother, warmth spreading through him.
"I'll try," Tanjiro conceded, approaching the situation cautiously. He knew he wasn't naturally adept at making girls happy and couldn't guarantee a relationship as enduring as his parents'.
Ryuji then opened the door. Tanjiro saw Kanao still waiting patiently in the same spot, his feelings even more complex.
Snow had accumulated on Kanao's hair, yet she remained unmoved, standing like a statue.
Ryuji gave Tanjiro a nudge and a pointed look.
Urged by Ryuji, Tanjiro slowly approached Kanao.
