Tanjiro was trying to protect his sister Nezuko and you realize you had to help him somehow so you did, Kanao came in and defeated you both mercilessly due to you guys already being in poor condition from the previous battle and you both passed out right then and there on the mountain…before waking up slowly to see 9 people in front of you…They were the Hashira!

Giyuu stays quiet as he remains distant from the others as they spoke

“Protecting a demon is a clear violation! We can deal with this on our own!” Rengoku spoke up

“In that case I’ll decapitate them with style I’ll show you the most dramatic spray of blood ever! I’ll be a spectacle.” Tengen continued

Mitsuya says with worry in her head “No way! You’d really kill such adorable children like them?! Such a thought feels my heart with sorrow!”

Gyomei talks while praying with his hands “Alias to see such a pitiful creatures as this, I grieve for them. Perhaps it would’ve been better if they hadn’t been born at all.”

Muichiro looks up in the air saying “….what was that cloud called again? What was it called?”

“Never-mind them. But what about Giyuu over there? He’s just as guilty as they both are for helping them.” Obanai grumbled.

“Oh that’s alright he did come here without any restraint.” Shinobu says softly

They all say before looking down at you both, silently asking for questions before Tanjiro turned over to you guilt echoing his face as he felt like you were here because of him.
