"Tanjiro-"
Before I can even properly call his name, Tanjiro slips and falls down the cliff, landing with a heavy thud.
I look over the edge, and thankfully he's still alive. Unfortunately, I see no sign of Nezuko, but I'm sure she's okay if Tanjiro isn't hurt!

"TANJIRO! I-I'll come down there okay! Just stay there!"
Immediately, my feet pick up and rush down the mountain, trying to find a low enough point for me to jump down from and get back to Tanjiro and Nezuko.

The snow was too high up for me to jump down with my airbending. I'd blind us all and probably hurt one of them, and that was the last thing I'd ever want to do.

I have to get down there as soon as possible! I gotta make sure they're okay!

Damnit legs! Can't you run any faster?!
Faster!

"Come on, faster, damnit!"

I feel anger boiling within me at how slow I'm moving, but as soon as I do, I'm going even faster than ever before. My body feels stronger and lighter, and I'm getting the snow out of the way in an instant.

Soon enough I've found the perfect ground to jump down to, and I'm running as fast as I can.

I spot Nezuko, and...Tanjiro!

He... He's out cold!

There's someone else there too... and...
He has a sword!
Did he hurt them?! Heavens forbid he did...

As quickly as I ran, I stopped in front of Tanjiro, right by Nezuko's side, my fury now aimed at the armed stranger with the mismatched haori.

By my side, I hear growling from Nezuko, and it only takes a glance to know what she became.

But that's a problem for later! Nezuko and I won't let this stranger hurt Tanjiro again! And I won't let him lay even a finger on either of them.

Nezuko charges at him, her hands igniting, and with all my strength I launch all the snow into the air to hopefully blind him and take him down easy!

I see Nezuko try and claw at him, but to no avail, he's dodging way too easily... Damn it, his agility is impressive...

"Leave them alone!"
My voice echoes louder than ever, heavens, I must be pumping adrenaline like crazy right now...

But I need to keep them safe. I lost Ame, but I won't lose anyone ever again!
I'll never forgive myself if I let someone die by my side!
