3rd pov:

A 5'9 man with short raven colored hair and dark ocean mesmerizing eyes. His name was Giyuu. Giyuu Tomioka.

He was sitting down on the dirt ground; leaning against a tree. Watching the moonrise as it reminded of him of a certain 4'11 lady with shoulder-length black fading to violet colored hair and Russian violet eyes named Shinobu. Shinobu Kocho. She died at the war where they had exterminated demons from this world for good. He realized he had loved her after it had been to late. He always had this wish where he could go back in time and fix the broken past.


If he was being honest he wished he had died from that curse. The demon slayer mark. That mark kills its users when they turn 25 because of the marks extreme conditions to manifest it. He had wished he had died like Sanemi, when he had turned 25 he died from the mark. He is now 28 years old who has no purpose because had already completed it.

Giyuu pov:

A full moon tonight? What a pleasant surprise. Wait didn't Kocho say "Isn't the moon lovely?" On a mission? *sigh* I wish we had more time together or maybe you could have just not died all together somehow, then we could have lived in a world where there are no demons. We could've built a family together Kocho. I wonder how you're doing in haven with you're family, tsugokus, colleagues, and best friend.

I should go home, it's getting late. "Giyuu-san!" someone called from afar. I looked at the direction where the voice was coming from. I saw Tanjiro waving at me from afar. "Tanjiro!" I called out. He came running towards me. "Giyuu-san, How are you tonight?" Tanjiro asked. "I'm alright." I replied. "Umm.. Okay Giyuu-san." He responded with a sad tone at the end.


"Tanjiro, don't worry I know I'm kind of sad but I can reassure you it's nothing serious." I told him with a reassuring smile which I don't know if it's reassuring or not but it's the best I can do. "Umm.... Giyuu-san. Do you.. uh believe in... wishing wells?" Tanjiro asked. I looked at him with a deadpanned face. "No." I replied to him with a monotone voice. "Ah. Okay just to let you know there is a well where you can wish for anything you like." He said. "Sure. Thanks Tanjiro I will visit that well later. Bye" I said smiling then walking away, waving at him. "Bye Giyuu-san!" He bid me farewell.


I was walking towards my estate which was far away. I was walking until I stumble across a well. It looked a 100 years old, it was covered with a thin layer of moss, it also had over grown grass all around it, and the well had a carving that said wishing well and instructions on how to use it. I then remembered what Tanjiro told me 2 hour ago.

"Ah. Okay just to let you know there is a wishing well where you can wish for anything you like."

Well I certainly remember that. Hmm... I can wish for something even if I don't believe in it right? Oh well, I'm gonna wish for something who is gonna stop me anyway. How do I even wish? Oh right, there is a carving with the instructions.

[To make a wish, you have to toss a coin in the well and wish whatever you want.]

Okay sure, we can do this. I got the coin out and now I just have to toss it.*Tosses the coin in the well*

"I wish... that I.. could go back to the past and fix it."












Nothing but silence. I already knew this wouldn't work but I still did it; giving myself false hope thinking by some miracle that it is true. I guess I will just have to go home with a hollow wish that I fantasize in my head. 

I was walking back to my estate through this seemingly never ending forest. I zoned out for little while and before I knew it, I ended up in the same city where we fought Muzan.


I sat on top of a roof on the building  where we fought Muzan. I sighed knowing there is nothing that I absolutely can do to change the past now. Every thing is peaceful until I saw someone on the roof.



3rd pov:


Giyuu saw a man who was shorter than him and wearing all red except the mask he was wearing. Giyuu also noticed the man was hiding a weapon behind him. Although Giyuu could easily beat him up he decided to take a different approach.  


"What are you doing here?" Giyuu asked him even though he already knew the answer. "Nothing,  just here to end my life." The man said. Giyuu got up and hugged the man. "I know what your really trying to do so just do it but promise me that I'm your last victim."                               The man pulled out of the hug and slashed Giyuu's chest; puncturing  Giyuu's lung and breaking his collar bone. Giyuu fell to the and he swore he saw his late sister soul staring at him.  The man used a sledge hammer to break the roof. Giyuu fell down the hollow building then catching on fire because the man threw fire at him.   


Giyuu pov: 

It hurts. I was starting to see my life flash before my eyes. I saw my sister and I playing outside then her dying in front of me. After that, I saw my best friend. I was training with him then the new of him dying came to my mind. Tanjiro, Nezuko and Urokodaki sensei's faces came together at the same time. Then, I saw her face, her calm patient smile then the announcement of her dying rung inside my head. It hurts mentally and physically.  


I know what my younger self would have said. 

 Pathetic. 

Useless. 

A man of no worth.

 Murderer. 

A person who can't save anyone.

 A nobody. 

Someone who deservers to die more than Kibutsuji Muzan.

 Someone who should suffer in the deepest part of hell.     

Nobody's first choice.

Coward. 

Immature.

Someone whose live should be given to somebody better. 

Worthless child. 

Someone whose live is a burden to the whole world. 

A part of me thought this was just a nightmare that is realistic even thought I know it's real. I guess it doesn't hurt that much if I gaslight myself to think this is a Nightmare. 

I finally lost conciseness. I died. 

One thought that kind of stood out to me is what if I could fix the broken past.
