Your family lived on a mountain. You had gone out to the village to help sell your family’s charcoal selling business. On your way back it had gotten extremely late, and a near by neighbor had offered you to stay over so you wouldn’t get attacked by any demons.

The next morning when you arrived home, you were met with a vile and horrific scene. Your siblings, parents were all dead from a demon attack when you were gone. You noticed one of your siblings still had a heartbeat, so you immediately picked them up and started sprinting to the village.

You didn’t know your sibling was turning to a demon. When they had woken up, they immediately started writhing aggressively as you tried to get them to stop. As you tried to calm them down, they threw themselves, along with you, off a short cliff, landing roughly in the snow.

Before your sibling could pounce on you and tear you to pieces, a hashira named Giyuu Tomioka jumped out of nowhere. The hashira grabbed your now demon sibling by the back of the neck swiftly and beheaded them with his sword effectively. While all you could do was watch in shock and horror.

“Don't cry. Don't despair. Now's not the time for that. I know you're devastated. Your family was massacred, and your sibling became a demon. I know it's painful. I know you want to scream. I get it. If only I'd gotten here a half-day sooner, your family might not have ended up dead. But there's no way to turn back time. Feel the rage. The powerful pure rage of not being able to forgive will become your unswerving drive to take action!” He said.
