Chapter Text
» It doesn’t matter if you have self-harmed before or if you just started to self-harm because it won’t take long for Shinobu to notice you covering your arms or thighs even during the hotter seasons.
» However, she would stay quiet for a while, but don’t worry - She’ll keep her eye on you even if you appear okay and happy during the days.
» You know how Tanjiro had asked why she smelled so angry all the time? That anger would become so much more intense; Not because of you, but because of the possible reasons that have driven you to harm yourself.
» It won’t matter how hard you’d try to hide your habits. Shinobu’s a doctor and a good one as well, so when it became time to have the annual check-ups, she straight up asked you to show the scars that you’ve left on your body.
» Even as the topic is complicated and emotionally challenging, Shinobu does a surprisingly good job at keeping the mood light, and it does make you feel comfortable enough to talk about what drove you to self-harm.
» She will listen to you closely, and no matter how “stupid” your reasoning might be, she’ll calm you down and tell you that you’re not stupid, idiotic, or pathetic for falling into a habit like that.
» In the end, you’ll feel much lighter and better than you did before. Both of you know that the recovery will be slow, but Shinobu will have your back and she will listen to you and your sorrows, no matter what.
» She’s the Estate’s best doctor, after all.
