[there's another brief pause as he chews on those words.]
Someone once said that Gramps is an extraordinary person. Even though he'd lost his leg to demons, he didn't retire as a demon slayer and settle for a peaceful life in the countryside. He chose to train me and Bro instead.
[he nods. agni is a lot better at this than he is. his voice trembles as he continues:]
No matter how much I struggled, Gramps never abandoned me. He rescued me from a mountain of debt and he never left me. He said that he'd only abandon me the day I abandoned someone else in need.
Well, who knows? I think I'm a pretty easy to read guy...
[speaking of which!
zenitsu gets a memory. i'm sorry jae because i was nice and put everything in albums for everyone else but i'm on my work laptop and i'm too lazy to lift it up and turn on my home laptop to use photoshop. but this means you get a unique memory!!
it starts from "your role is to serve him" if you scroll down a bit, up to the obvious end of the flashback.]
[a unique memory! one that makes sense with minimal context, yet at the same time provides so little. zenitsu closes and opens his eyes as if blinking away what he's just experienced, then stares at agni.]
For a guy who claims to be easy to read, you're not very forthcoming.
Nothing. Just that you're more thoughtful than you look.
Anyway, thanks for opening the door.
[again. because he's been sniffling and crying on and off all night, thanks to his arm. now agni is free to retire to his room so that they can all (try to) sleep.]

Was that your mentor?

I haven't drawn it in a while, though.

He seemed like a good guy, though.
