"The letter," The Master said softly.

"Yes, Master," The girl right hand side replied shortly as she pulled out a piece of paper folded like a map.

"This is a letter recieved from a former Hashira," she announced to us, "Sakonji Urokodaki."

I've heard of him several times before; he was the man that took in Giyuu and trained him. I'm not sure if the rumor is true, but he wears a red goblin mask with a long nose and angry face and has never shown his face to anyone. He started wearing the mask because demons thought of him to be too kind due to his soft face, so he concealed it behind the mask. I've also heard that he's incredibly good at crafting objects, such as other masks for his students and that it was also him who had created Nezuko's wooden box- the very same one that Sanemi had stabbed her in. 

"I shall read you an abridged version," The girl said. I'm not sure of any of Oyakata-sama's children's names. I only know that one of them is a boy, and the only one with black hair. His name is Kiriya, I think. He was raised as a girl because of his frail and weak body, but he will eventually become the next leader of Demon Slayer Corps when his father passes away or appoints him.

"Please allow Tanjiro to be accompanied by his sister, a demon. Because of her resilient mental strength, Nezuko has not lost her human emotions. Even in a starved state, she never devoured humans, and this has held true more than two years later. Although the situation seems somewhat far-fetched, it is an indisputable fact. In the event that Nezuko does assault a human, Tanjiro Kamado, as well as Sakonji Urukodaki and Giyuu Tomioka will atone by committed seppuku."

Tanjiro gasped in surprise under the force of Sanemi's hand pushing him down and barely crushing down his skull so that the insides of his head, including the brain, get squashed down ad blood sprays everywhere. I followed the directions of his eyes, which led directly to none other than Giyuu Tomioka himself, who sat in his position in silence, staring intently at The Master and the two girls on either of his sides. I looked back at Tanjiro, pulling my eyes away from the boy with a mismatched haori, and noticed the tears and formed in his eyes and rolled down his nose and across his face, before finally touching the ground.

Sanemi shut his eyes tightly, putting himself into deep thought before he spoke again.

"So, what if they commit seppuku?"He started, and I could hear his temper building up again,"If you want to die, then rot to death for all I care! It's not guarantee! Not by a long shot!"

Shinazugawa-san, please don't give me any reason to severely hurt you. Even the least honorable person in this world wouldn't dare speak out of line in front of Oyakata-sama. I don't want to seem disrespectful, but I will do what is necessary.

"Shinazugawa is right! If she kills and devours humans, there's no coming back from that! It won't bring back the people who were killed!" A voice spoke, and I couldn't bother any less to check which person was speaking this time.

"You do have a point," Oyakata-sama started, before he was interrupted by Sanemi again. I swear if this man doesn't let The Master speak, I'm going to give him an uppercut so hard he reaches the gates of Heaven. Or maybe I'll do it downwards, because he sure isn't going to Heaven.

"In that case," he started.

"Master!" A voice called again, interrupting the other boy's unreasonable blabbering.

"We can't guarantee that she won't attack humans, we can't prove it. That said, we also can't prove that she will attack humans."

Sanemi was taken aback, gasping audibly and his head jerked backward a little.
