Nobody's P.O.V.

"I'm sorry for the wait, my children..." Kagaya said as he came into the room smiling. He could now see all the pillars. "It's good to see you doing well, Oyakata-sama." Gyomei stated. "Thank you Gyomei." Kagaya said. "I'm sure you have all heard this, but (Y/N) seems to have become uppermoon 0, and she is here. Kibutsuji Muzan has mostly likely altered his goals after (Y/N), so he can become stronger. I'm sure you all know (Y/N) conquered the sun as well, and Kibutsuji will do anything to conquer the sun himself. The time for an all-out battle is approaching." Kagaya said as the hashiras nodded their heads in understanding.

"Also, we have reports of strange flame-like marks appearing on (Y/N), when she was turned into uppermoon 0. So I would like to ask Shinobu on how she's doing." Kagaya said. "Marks?" Shinobu asked. "During the Sengoku era, there were some swordsmen of the first breath who were one step away from ending Kibutsuji Muzan. They all had marks that resembled demon crests. This knowledge has been passed down though, so some people should know about this." Kagaya explained.

"But I haven't heard of it. So why are we hiding this?" Sanemi asked. "Because a lot of people were brooding over the marks never appearing, and that's why. A lot of information about the marks became hazy with time. Maybe because it was never laid out in stone back then. And the demon hunters were on the verge of annihilation countless times, so perhaps the succession died out at some point. But we do have 1 piece of consistent knowledge about them. 'Once one person has that mark on them, it starts spreading to others, as if they're resonating. That was how one of the swordsmen of the first breath put it. And as of now, the person who first had this mark was not any of the pillars in this room, but (Y/N) (L/N). Tanjiro said she was the first one with the mark. But when we asked him how it happened, he had a hard time explaining how she received her mark, and Tanjiro was the second one to receive that mark. We could have left it off there, but then we got word that (Y/N) had various marks." Kagaya said.

Taisho Secrets

- No, you aren't related to Tanjiro, but you got the mark first because you went beyond your human limit to even get into this world, and you were already more powerful than Tanjiro.

- You couldn't explain how you got that mark, because you were sleeping when you were recovering from turning into a demon.

- Shinobu and the butterfly girls also noticed you had a high fever, but they thought it would eventually go away.
