[Muzan x Tanjirou]
For one thousand years, Muzan's goals have remained straightforward, and even now, his intentions with respect to Tanjirou are simple:

"I don't merely want to kill him. I want to ruin him," Muzan muttered to himself.

NOTE ON CHARACTERIZATION FOR MUZAN IN THIS STORY:
In Canon, the KNY doesn't really focus much on Muzan's thoughts. We see bits and pieces of his -motivations, past, etc., but imo he is largely a mystery. This may be mainly due to him not being a main character or the lovely mangaka wanting to keep him as the mysterious villain and an obstacle for the main characters to overcome but in this story I would like to focus on both him and Tanjirou.
As you may have noticed, I am writing in a style that takes a closer look at how he thinks / sheds some light on his internal feelings. This is so as to set the stage for future events! And in this chapter especially, I will be covering a little of what I assume his past was like, tie that into his current state / actions and show how that will affect his approach to Tanjirou.
Generally, Muzan's possible thought process and way of thinking in the series (manga + anime) intrigues me. In the manga / anime he's always so straight-faced except when something greatly angers or pleasures him and then he responds with great rage / delight. There is no in between with him. It's either apathy or an intense reaction. Thus, I picture Muzan as someone who experiences a lot of his emotions inside his head, so he appears apathetic on the outside. He is very intelligent, and someone who thinks a lot about something to find the best solution before he carries out that action.
I think that one evidence of his entire thought process is his meeting with Yoriichi, when he had almost been killed. At that time, as Yoriichi subdued and was talking to him, he did not answer and reacted with the intense rage that was on his face, leading Yoriichi to assume that it was as though he did not hear him. I also think that he did not hear him as Muzan was most likely busy thinking about his situation and how to get out of it.
So...yeah. Enough of me blabbing about Muzan >.< I just thought that I'll let you guys know the reason why I write Muzan this way.
Now, on with the story!
Summary:
Muzan comes to a conclusion about his unreasonable feelings and actions toward Tanjirou and as soon as he does, he prepares to commence the next stage of his planned ruination for the boy. Love is something he neither comprehends the purpose of, nor desires and he finally understands what to do about this risky factor that could develop between them.
