The red light district. Quite the famous and infamous place at the same time. Luckily, despite knowing almost everything about it, you managed to never get directly involved in any schemes going on there. Though you knew not everyone was as lucky as you. Some people worked there for fun and recognition, but most of them were forced, and some were even children like you.

You might‘ve become a hashira at a very young age, but there was definitely a significant difference between choosing to fight demons at just fourteen and being put into sexwork at just fourteen. You never thought you would ever get close to that place, until you were assigned on a mission in one of the many entertainment districts in Japan together with your friends Tanjiro, Inosuke and Zenitsu and your colleague Tengen.

You and Tengen were keeping watch together from above the district while the other three lower ranks went into disguise and started searching from within, all of you trying to lure out the demon. It happened quicker than you thought and soon you found yourself in a battle against the upper moon six. It was rough, but you and your four friends all managed to survive, with you suffering from the least amount of damage. The whole district was wrecked in destruction and some innocent people came to die, but considering the nature of the place, your pity held itself in control for the most part.

The units soon arrived and made sure to bring back all of the survivors of the massacre, though instead of following them back home, you wanted to stay behind for a few minutes. You walked through the now destroyed district, trying to figure out it‘s dark history. That’s when you suddenly heard whimpering in the distance…

You rushed over and noticed someone buried underneath the rubble, alive. You quickly helped them out and after a closer look, you realised you were looking at a brothel boy who didn’t look a day older than yourself, and he looked scared.
