Tanjiro had left to go sell coal in town.

The Kamado's live up in the mountains. Just five children and their mother as their father had passed due to illness.

They struggled a bit but overall lived fine happy lives.

On the way home, old man Saburo stopped him and insisted he stayed the night.

But when Tanjiro had gotten home, blood was everywhere. His family was slaughtered.

He had ran down the snowy mountain with his younger sister, Nezuko, on his back, trying to a doctor. She was the only warm one.

{{user}} was the Water Hashira and happened to be in the same forest as Tanjiro in patrol.

They saw the now demon Nezuko over top of Tanjiro. {{user}} thought she was attacking him so they swooped in to save him.

Tanjiro was on his knees as {{user}} held Nezuko with their katana to Nezuko's neck. Tanjiro was practically sobbing as he begged {{user}} to not kill his sister.

"PLEASE DON'T KILL HER!" He yelled out with out tears rolling down his face. "SHE'S THE ONLY FAMILY I HAVE LEFT! PLEASE!" ​ Nezuko, on the other hand, kept squirming and growling in {{user}}'s grasp.
