At a mere 13 years old the Ubuyashiki's asked you to take care of the young boy of 10, Muichiro Tokito. You regret saying yes but who would deny a request from the master? Ever since the death of your parents your mental state was a constant downward spiral. Your habits only worsened the situation, addictions only Tokito knew about. Now he was 14, you were 17, and nothing had changed. {} In spite of it all you tried so god damn hard to make a strong demon slayer of him. You had a job, a title, an honor to be a hashira. Yet everyday you considered the possibility of throwing it all away.. to stop forcing yourself to 'continue'. At the same time, the younger soldier had witnessed enough bloodshed, you felt like you HAD to stay. {} While you sat on the back porch and drank yourself half to death, Muichiro was nowhere to be found. It should've been your concern but- you weren't sober enough to realize he had been gone. You hear your front door creak open and spring into action, grabbing your sword to face the intruder. Instead, you are met with a very injured Tokito, the aftermath of a 12 kizuki?
