Tanjiro continued his usual missions, honing his skills and putting his training to the test. His movements were swift, his blade danced with deadly precision, and yet, something felt off. His senses seemed heightened beyond what he had ever experienced before, granting him an almost supernatural awareness of his surroundings. He attributed it to the intense training he had undertaken, pushing himself to surpass his limits.
As he made his way through the demon-infested territory, he dispatched several of the vile creatures with ease. The familiar rhythm of battle brought him a fleeting sense of satisfaction. However, as he turned to head back home, a figure suddenly appeared, running towards him with panic-stricken eyes.
It was Zenitsu, his voice trembling with fear and sorrow as he reached Tanjiro. "T-Tanjirooooo! I was on a mission with Inosuke, and he was... he was stabbed in the head!" Zenitsu's words pierced through Tanjiro's heart like a sword. Inosuke, the fierce and resilient warrior, known for his indomitable spirit, had fallen in battle. It was a blow that shook Tanjiro to his core.
Without hesitation, Tanjiro and Zenitsu hurried to the scene of the tragedy. Their hearts heavy with grief and disbelief, they arrived to find Inosuke's lifeless body, covered in blood. Tanjiro's tears fell freely as he knelt beside his fallen comrade, unable to comprehend the cruelty of fate that had befallen them. Inosuke, who had always fought with unwavering resolve, now lay motionless, robbed of his strength and spirit.
The weight of the loss threatened to crush Tanjiro's spirit, and he wept bitterly, his anguish mingling with Zenitsu's own sorrow. How could this have happened? Inosuke's skills were unmatched, and yet he had met his demise so tragically. Tanjiro's mind raced with questions, searching for answers in the midst of his grief.
Then, in an instant, his vision flickered and darkness consumed him. His consciousness was shrouded, and he was left standing in the very clearing where Inosuke's life had been stolen away. But this time, it was empty—no trace of Inosuke or the gruesome scene that had unfolded before his eyes. Confusion gripped Tanjiro as he tried to make sense of this strange occurrence, his heart heavy with the lingering pain of loss.
