Warnings: profanity/bad words, slight manga spoilers
Tanjiro listened careful to every word. You try to only say to the main details, afraid to give too much information about the future.
"Why did he kill them?"
"I can't tell you." You say softly as a way to avoid spoilers. "Maybe we can convince your family to completely move..."
"No... they won't understand." He says as if his own mind is racing with thoughts and had already considered this. "Are you sure I can't defeat it? I have the axe."
"No you aren't strong enough...Not yet. You will ..." hesitating to go too deep into explanation of demon slayers... yet. "I can't tell you. Though you will get very strong eventually. Just not before Muzan comes."
"Muzan?"
Shit. Shit. Shit.
I don't think giving him the name is a good idea.
...Too late now ...
"Yes that is his name."
"A demon with a name."
"He is... very powerful... I will tell you more about him another day."
"Muzan turns Nezuko into a demon..."
He doesn't really ask but you still answer, "Yes. You were able to ... keep her safe... as a demon."
"Is there a way to turn her back?"
"I can't tell you."
Slowly he processes everything then asks something that surprises you, "But I am able to keep you alive, as a human?"
"Tanjiro-Kun... I ... I am from the future. I was never here before." His eyes widen at your words and then he bows his head with sadness.
"So... I might lose you too." Anguish in his voice.

"Maybe we should take a break with questions today. Spend the rest of this time training hard. It can be a lot to think about in one sitting."
When he looks back up tears are falling. Your heart aches seeing him this upset. Taking a step closer then another. He allows you to approach and then you wrap your arms around him.
Tanjiro drops his head against your chest as he begins to sob. Resting your cheek on the top of his head. "I am so very sorry. I wish demon didn't exist. I wish this wasn't your fate. We will find someway to save them. We have to."
His arms wrap around your waist as he continues to cry. Running your fingers through his hair as an attempt to soothe him. Being a safe place for him to release all his emotions.
