girlhood should've been kind. nezuko is envious of the other girls in the butterfly manor at times. they can run in the warm sun, dress up in pretty outfits, eat delicious and bad food, they can be girls. they have the option to live and thrive.
nezuko does not have that option. too afraid to reach out and touch the sun. unable to stomach the food she once adored. and dressing up in outfits makes her feel ugly. every time she wears an outfit, she looks like a corpse ready to be put in the damn ground.
maybe she is. maybe it's where she belongs. deep beneath the ground, with her mother and her siblings. she can feel it beneath her feet, the roots and dirt that call to the walking corpse that is her.
and standing outside, with robin nearby speaking to her the obvious (because anyone can look at nezuko and know the tragedy of being so dead and so alive.) nezuko balls up her fists. she should've gotten to grow up.
she should've gotten to watch her siblings grow up. she should've been playing and enjoying the sun. and it was taken from her. everything was taken from her and she never even gets to scream about it. she never gets to feel about it (one wrong move, one wrong emotion, and then suddenly she's a monster.)
nezuko yearns to scream. to release every last ounce of pain from her throat. but she can't. she doesn't. so she sits down next to robin once more, unfurls her fist (her nails dug into her palm and, for a moment, there was blood. only to be gone a moment later.)
head leans against the elders arm, and nezuko lets angry hot tears fall down her cheeks.
SOMEONE SHOULD'VE LOVED YOU. / accepting!
