Kimetsu no Yaiba: The Stars and Cosmos Arc

Beliefs

A small cross was plotted by the wisteria tree, a nice and quiet place for the fallen demon to rest. Aicha says a small prayer in their native language and both women begin to pray.

Once they were done, Amara pulls out the small ball from her small pack and rolls it around her left palm for a moment, then bends down on a knee in front of the grave. Placing the small ball in front of the cross, Amara stares at the cross for a couple of seconds then stands to full length again.

"Do we return to Urokodaki?" Aicha asks.

Amara rubs her neck, closing her eyes to think for a moment. They did complete their task, however, it made her wonder if they had returned too early would Urokodaki be suspicious of how quickly they had finished?

"Let's stay the rest of the night and then we head back to the hut." She tells her sister and the younger twin nods.

Returning to their campsite, the twins sit in silence, both contemplating as to their visual of demons and their behaviors. Was the demon king losing control of his own creations, or was there another reason?

So far, there have been two demons that they have met where their bloodlust was either satiated or they run away without even trying to get an ounce of blood from the first human they see.

Amara was at a cross roads with what she felt was the right thing to do and what was best for the situation. She wanted to kill all demons in the world, no hesitation but, the fact that she was beginning to feel guilty for wanting to kill Nezuko earlier.

Why did she suddenly feel like this? Why did it make her guilty of something that she so heartily believed was the right thing to do?

"Sister?" Aicha calls and Amara looks up at her twin.

"I think there has been...a change in my beliefs." She explains hesitantly.

"Change?"

"Yes." Aicha nods and crosses her legs.

"After we fought that demon I...I am unsure what is the right choice for the next time we run into one. If demons are beginning to grow some kind of mindset-a conscious mind then could it be true that they aren't all evil?" Her sister inquired.

Amara was quiet for a moment. Her sister was asking all the right questions but Amara, herself was unsure how to answer them.

"So far we have only fought one demon who has pleaded for a mercy kill however, we cannot be careless and lose sight of the next demon that isn't the same way." Amara says.

"Of course but, what if what we were taught is not all the way true? Like we are missing something?" Aicha questions and Amara leans back on the tree behind her.

"I am not sure Aicha. We have the right to change our views on things if we believe that they are not right but...in this case I am not sure what to believe is right or wrong. I am just amazed that Nezuko is one of the first demons to refuse human flesh and his trust for her is so strong that it reminds me of us." Aicha smiles at her sister and Amara returns the favor. "She and her brother share an interesting storyline." Amara finishes and Aicha nods.

"Then if Tanjiro and Urokodaki-san trusts Nezuko, then I can respect their decision." Aicha says.

Amara nods in understanding and crosses her arms, resting her head back on the tree and falling to sleep.

The next morning, the twins wake up early to return to the hut and during the trip down the mountain it would seem that they were both still in deep thought on their conversation last night, Aicha especially.

Aicha was introduced to demons at a very early age and the first of her siblings to face one. Of course, the entire situation was different from what she had experienced in the past but, when it came to wanting to neutralize Nezuko, a turned demon, she couldn't go forward with the fight.
