Inosuke: This isn't good. Where could those two be?
Kanao: That's what we're trying to figure out.
Crow: Kaw! Kaw! Tanjiro dead. Kaw! Kaw! Nezuko nowhere to be found.
Zenitsu: Tanjiro...is dead?
Kyojuro: It's true, and there was nothing I could do to stop it.
Inosuke: (Angry and Sad) SCREW THE OTHERS! SCREW THEM ALL!!! *Tears form* What kind of king...what kind of friend am I if I can't even protect my comrades?
Nezuko: *More tears* No...they're dead.
Dream Sanemi: Yes, they are. *Draws his sword* And you shall join them.
Nezuko: IT'S NOT FAIR!!! WHY WASN'T I STRONG ENOUGH TO PROTECT HIM TO THE SAME DEGREE?!
???: Nezuko, I...am Yorichii Tsugikuni.

Nezuko: Yorichii?
Yorichii: *Nods*
Nezuko: *Sees his sword* Did the Demon Slayer corps send you? Are you here to kill me? Because if you are, then just get it over with. My existence is putting everyone I love in danger. Kill me so that no one else has to die. Please...
Yorichii: I am not for the Demon Slayer corps, and I am not here to kill you. I fight for all of humanity, even it some of them have no hearts inside them. *Sees Nezuko's despair* Nezuko, I know how it feels to be you. I lost my brother too. Except, he's not dead. He's one of the monsters. But believe me, *holds her cheek* you are not alone in this.
Nezuko: *Tears halt* Wh-Why are you here?
Yorichii: Nezuko, you believe that if you were only stronger on that day, you could have saved Tanjiro. Your one wish...is to be stronger. To abandon your weakness once and for all. You believe that you could have saved him if you had more strength, but strength alone wouldn't have guaranteed his life. You know that very well.
Nezuko: Sanemi is not only crazy strong, but he's crazy smart too. He could have easily found a way to permanently stop me if I had intervened.
Yorchii: That's right. But don't give up! For I'm here to help you. I am going to train you...to become a Demon Slayer. That way, you can protect others from feeling the same pain you're feeling.
Nezuko: A demon slayer? You're gonna train me...to become a demon slayer?
Yorchii: *Nods*
Nezuko: But...what are you going to teach me? I can't learn the sun dance. I'm not the eldest son. Only the eldest son can use that.
Yorichii: You're right. Only the eldest son in the Kamado Family can use my technique. But he won't be able to do so as you clearly can tell. So...we must resort to the second best thing. *Holds out hand* Take this. We need to unlock that potential inside of you.
From Yorichii's hand came a small star tiny enough to fit in the palm of one's hand. Nezuko watched as the little star fell before her. When it fell in the palms of her hands, it, along with her began glowing until she herself was devoured by light. When the light faded, Nezuko was able to see herself again, but she had changed. Her eyes were now sparkling like stars in the night sky. Her hair, too, was mimicking that of a starry sky. On her forehead was the little star, imprinted there so that everyone who came across the girl could see it. Nezuko looked at her hands. They now had star patterns on them. Then she looked at Yorichii.
