The year had passed in a blur for Nezuko. Her initial drive to uncover the truth about Tanjiro's death had waned, replaced by a deep, lingering sadness. She had combed through every possible lead, every small clue, but nothing had led her to a conclusive answer. Her heart ached with the emptiness of loss, and her once-vibrant spirit had dimmed.
Muichiro, on the other hand, was tormented by his guilt. Every interaction with Nezuko was a reminder of the darkness that lurked in his soul. He kept his secret hidden, burying it deep within himself, but it gnawed at him constantly. His nights were plagued by nightmares, and his days were spent in a fog of regret.

It was a typical afternoon when Muichiro invited Nezuko over to study. He had suggested they go over some coursework together, hoping that the normalcy of the activity would offer some respite from their inner turmoil. Nezuko had agreed, grateful for the distraction.
As Nezuko sat on Muichiro's bed, flipping through her notes, Muichiro excused himself to get some snacks. He left her alone in his room, trusting that she would find comfort in the familiar surroundings.
Nezuko's eyes wandered around the room. It was tidy, almost meticulously so, reflecting Muichiro's need for control in an otherwise chaotic life. Her gaze landed on a book lying on his desk. Curious, she reached for it, thinking it might be a study guide or a journal.
As she flipped through the pages, her heart stopped. The book was filled with detailed accounts of Muichiro's missions, the victims he had been forced to kill. Her breath caught in her throat as she saw Tanjiro's name among them, the memory of her brother's lifeless body flooding back with painful clarity.

Muichiro returned to find Nezuko standing in the middle of the room, the book clutched in her hands. Her face was pale, her eyes wide with shock and horror.
"Nezuko," he began, but his voice faltered. He knew there were no words that could make this right.
Nezuko's eyes were filled with tears, her voice trembling. "Muichiro, how could you? How could you keep this from me?"
"I... I didn't have a choice," Muichiro stammered, his own eyes brimming with tears. "Kokushibo, Muzan... they control everything. I had to follow their orders."
Nezuko's expression hardened. "But Tanjiro was your friend. How could you kill him?"
Muichiro fell to his knees, the weight of his guilt crashing down on him. "I know I can't ever make this right. I was weak, and I let them control me. I'm so sorry, Nezuko."
Nezuko's tears fell freely now, her grief and anger mixing into a tempest of emotions. She wanted to scream, to hit him, to make him feel the pain she was feeling. But instead, she stood there, frozen by her sorrow.
Muichiro bowed his head, his sobs echoing through the room. "Please, Nezuko. Please forgive me. I know I don't deserve it, but I need you to know how sorry I am."
Nezuko's eyes were hollow, her spirit broken. She couldn't bring herself to speak, the words caught in her throat. She turned and fled the room, leaving Muichiro alone with his torment.

As Nezuko ran, her mind raced with the implications of what she had discovered. The brother she had loved and lost, the friend she had trusted-all of it shattered by the cruel reality of Muichiro's actions. She felt as if the ground had been ripped from beneath her feet, her world spinning out of control.
Muichiro remained on the floor, his heart breaking with every tear that fell. He had known this moment would come, but it didn't make it any less excruciating. He had lost Nezuko's trust, and in doing so, he had lost a part of himself.
In the silence of his room, Muichiro made a vow to himself. He would find a way to atone for his sins, to make amends for the pain he had caused. He would join the Hashiras and fight against Muzan, not just for himself, but for Nezuko, for Tanjiro, and for all the lives that had been shattered by their evil.
But for now, he could only weep, the weight of his guilt a heavy burden that he would carry for the rest of his days.
