[ The mix of negative emotions that Kyoko is feeling gets picked up as sounds to Zenitsu's keen ears, and he quiets down a little from his usual whiny self. He's all too familiar with these emotions, as he'd feel them himself so many times.

He's not sure how to respond to Kyoko's words. He's pessimistic to most things too, and trying to think of encouraging words is not his forte. Tanjiro would do such a better job at handling this situation, he figures. ]

...I dunno if I'd go that far? I don't think there's anything bad about sharing hugs. I mean yeah, the robot people might be beyond help since they don't even have human bodies anymore... [ He's about to continue with a 'but' but he lets his voice die right there, because he doesn't have any other words to go after that, even if he tries to think what his friend would say in a situation like this. Mm. ]

I don't think anyone should want to be a demon slayer, though. A girl shouldn't throw herself into a dangerous situation like that.
