They were the best people in the world. Even if we lived simple lives, it was happy.
[ She smiles, all her love and all of her grief shining in her eyes. She's not ashamed of how she feels about her family, and she won't hide it.
They have made her what she is, and even if what she does here is one failure after another and she can no longer make them proud, her love will still remain. ]
[ Hers is such a lovely smile. When he sees it, he can feel with certainty that she loves her family. Knowing that, it's a precious expression. ]
I don't have parents, but Gramps is the one who taught me how to wield a sword. He's the only one who never abandoned me.
[ Does Shinobu know Jigoro? Zenitsu wonders as he faces the screen, on which the trial continues to play. Probably not, but it wouldn't surprise him if she does. ]
He used to be a Pillar before an injury led him to retire. Having only one leg didn't seem to ever slow him down, though.
[ At the age of 35, reportedly! Was Shinobu even alive back then?
Those aren't the exact words that Zenitsu would use, but he won't deny that there must be love between them. If not for that, he wouldn't have made it this far (or even be a demon slayer). ]
[ No, that would be terrible. He wants to keep both of his legs, please and thank you.
Those are his surface thoughts. He looks down at her hand, small and gentle yet strong; this hand has saved countless lives. He can't deny that that's why his ambition, which he keeps close to his heart, is what it is.
There's a difference here, though. Shinobu is an unbelievably cute lady, and her hand is the one that's patting his arm. He feels his face heat up at the contact. ]
Yes!
Actually, it'd be nice if I could be even half as strong as Gramps . . .

She can tell how much Zenitsu loves him. ]
He sounds like a great man, who saw your potential as someone who could be a demon slayer and someone who deserves to be loved.
You know that, don't you?

Yeah. I guess I do.

She reaches over and pats him gently on the arm. ]
It won't be terrible if you became like him, in finding a way to support yourself and others even without a leg to stand on.
