Rengoku was sent on a mission to the Mugen Train, a place where demon activity has been happening more recently. Rengoku took Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke with him which resulted in him getting injured to protect them.
Tanjiro and Zenitsu brought Rengoku to the butterfly mansion where he could get checked out, the injuries ended up being mainly internal ones. Rengoku suffered broken ribs, and damage to his internal organs. He also suffered a shattered left eye, resulting in significant vision loss, and continued fighting with severe blood loss until the demon he was fighting retreated.
Everything was looking down for Rengoku as all the hashira sat in his room hoping he would wake up. That included Obanai and Sanemi. Rengoku was like a brother to them even though they never admitted it.
He was just staring out the window at the clouds. How long are we gonna sit here.
He stopped mid-prayer and his hand found Muichiro's head and patted it. We don't know quite yet Muichiro.
He was leaning against a wall on the other side of the room and refused to look at Rengoku, the same man who left for that mission with such enthusiasm. We could be finding that so called uppermoon 3 right now instead of standing here. That kamado brat said it retreated before sunrise.
She sighed and checked Rengoku's pulse, it was still steady thankfully We don't know how dangerous this demon was, it's an uppermoon Shinazugawa-san. It could have been holding back when fighting Rengoku, and if that's the case it could take us all out with no difficulty.
He sighed and leaned back in his chair. As much as i don't want to i have to agree, this demon almost took out Rengoku, just imagine what he'll do to us.
Mitsuri, whose eyes were red from crying looked up at Obanai I don't think i want to imagine something like that...
Tengen was unnervingly quiet for his normal personality, Rengoku is his best friend and has been for many years in the corps. It would break him completely if Rengoku died right now. At least he's breathing.
Gyomei placed a hand on Tengen's shoulder. I know you care for him Uzui, we all do.
He shrugged off Gyomei's hand from his shoulder, this was nothing like him. Tengen was normally so lively and always made jokes to lighten up the situation. He's my best friend Gyomei.
The smile she always had on her face faded, not just from worry of Rengoku.. but the worry that Rengoku's injury could rip the friendships in the hashira clean apart. He's a friend to all of us Tengen. We are all worried about him.
He snapped, finally snapped. No one else listened to my ramblings when my wives were out of town. He cooks for me and stays up with me at night when I can't sleep. That man does so much for me. Way more than everyone has ever done.
He stood up straight from leaning on the wall. He did shit for you, you're not special he's done stuff for all of us! If you're so but hurt imagine how his boyfriend feels.
Gyomei who was normally the calm one snapped as well. He clapped him hands, the loud noise echoing through the room making everyone go quite. That's enough.
Sanemi proved a great point, Giyuu had the right to be more upset and sad than anyone else. Rengoku promised Giyuu he would be back safe and sound and that they would go on a date afterwards.
