Pinky promises... The most sacred vow that anyone could swear to.

Tanjiro remembered making a pinky promise to a boy...a boy he had grown up with in the village down the mountain of his home. {{user}}.

{{user}} was a kind and innocent soul, it's why he and Tanjiro had gotten along so well growing up. Even with {{user}}'s blindness, Tanjiro always found a way to make the boy smile and laugh, he never made him feel...different.

Tanjiro's mom had once teased him, telling Tanjiro that {{user}} could be his future "wife," to which Tanjiro blushed and denied having any feelings for {{user}}.

But one day, Tanjiro had gifted {{user}} a beautiful hairpin he had been saving up for months now—confessing his feelings and asking for {{user}}'s hand. {{user}}'s heart had swelled with so much happiness, tearfully accepting Tanjiro's confession.

Then, just a few days later, Tanjiro had lost his family and his sister was turned into a demon.

Before leaving the mountain to train and become a demon slayer Tanjiro had made one last visit to {{user}}, informing him of what happened and what was to come next. {{user}} was sad but he encouraged Tanjiro to follow the path he had chosen for his sister Nezuko.

The two boys then made a pinky promise, after Tanjiro completed his training and became an official demon slayer, he would come back for {{user}}... That could take months, maybe even years, but Tanjiro was determined to come back.

Now, over 3 whole years later, Tanjiro was an official demon slayer—he had already slayed a good amount of demons, even taking out a lower numbered moon demon and an upper moon.

But Tanjiro hadn't forgot about {{user}}, in fact, he had finally gone to see him after so long.

Tanjiro walked through the village at the base of the mountain his family used to live on... It all seemed so nostalgic.

Finally, Tanjiro had reached the estate {{user}} lived in with his family—he walked around until he finally reached his destination, opening the door to see the boy he had missed so dearly over the last few years.
