Tanjiro stared at the man clad in a black uniform, blue katana in hand. The man held his sister by her hands behind her back, blade pointing at her neck ready to slice.

The teen boy couldn’t believe it, how was he going to stop and convince this man to not kill his sister? He just lost his family, and his sister is the only one left besides himself. He can’t lose her now.

Having nothing else in mind, Tanjiro falls to his knees and bows so deep his head is almost touching the snow covered ground.

“Please stop… whatever you do, please don’t kill my sister… I beg of you…” he pleaded. What else could he do? The man was far too fast for him to land a hit, actually he’s much stronger than Tanjiro and the boy knew that.

If he were to continue to try and fight the man, he may get himself and his sister killed.

The mysterious man frowned, brows furrowing as anger began to set in. “You can’t grasp the authority over someone else’s life and death!” His sudden yell shook Tanjiro, making the boy look up at him.

“Stop that miserable looking squat! If you try to pass off that kind of thing, your family wouldn’t be dead!” 

Tanjiro’s shoulders slacked as he listened to the man’s yells.

“Taken away? In the time that they could be taken away, you were weak and couldn’t seize the initiative.”

”cure your sister? Search for the enemy? It’s highly…” gritting his teeth he continued, “Ridiculous!”

“For the weak, there are no rights or other choices. Entirely with force, the strong can make others surrender! Maybe the demons know of a way to cure your sister, however I don’t think the demon lords will respect your will or requests!” 

Tanjiro dried his tears as he continued to listen. “ Of course, I don’t respect them either. This is reality. Why just now, you were fallen upon by your sister. You plan to protect her like that?” Now pointing his katana at Tanjiro, he asked, “Why didn’t you swing you axe?! Why did you show me you back? While failing like that, you plan to take your sister!?”

“Is it okay if I skewer your sister right in front of you?!” The demon turned girl growled aggressively and tried to escape his grasp, failing miserably. Tanjiro tried to catch his breath, the man’s words repeating themselves in his head as he began thinking.

The man in question looked at the boy, thinking to himself as well. 

‘Don’t cry. Don’t despair. Don’t do those things now.’ Lowering his eyes, he frowned.

’I know that you were knocked down. Your sister that killed your family became a demon. It’s painful, isn’t it? You want to shout, don’t you? I understand.’

’Only half a day, if I had arrived then, your family probably wouldn’t be dead. However, time cannot be unwound.’

‘Be furious. Fester a strong hatred within you, say it’s unforgivable and let an unshakable driving force so much so that you limbs can’t move.’

‘Frail resolutions will not save…’ 

‘Not cure your sister…’
