Since the age of nine years old, Y/N deeply wished to become part of the family's tradition and she decided to prove her abilities by creating the most magnificent lantern of all the time, but she didn't have any idea of how long would it take or the enchantement used by the family over generations.  

That's why she went outside and was on her way to the nearest neighboring village. She felt this heavy pressure inside of her telling her her 14th birthday is next week and she haven't learned anything.

You: I'm so useless ! You complained while climbing a slope. Still walking, you sank deeper and deeper in the snow mounds, but then you saw a boy with burgundy hair with card earrings. 

Boy:  Good morning ! He shouted at you, confused by his manners you looked behind to reveal no one but you. The thing is, since your birth your parents always kept you around the house and you weren't really allowed to go play with the other kids because they were too scared of losing you.  

You: Oh... Hi ! You responded after a while, but not too late because the boy walked over to you and started explaining something. 

Tanjiro: I'm Tanjiro, I'm currently on my way to sell some charcoals. In fact, I've never seen you around, are you from another village ? He asked 

You:  I'm Y/N from the lantern shop- you didn't had enough time to finish your sentence as Tanjiro commented. 

Tanjiro: NO WAY ! OUR FAMILY ALWAYS BUYS AT LEAST FIVE OF THEM EACH YEAR ! He happily announced to you. 

You explained to him your little issue and he warmly invited you to come with him so maybe you could visit some stores to buy the material you needed. On your way to town, you two would just keep talking and talking about random things because you had never spoken so much in all of your 13 years of life. 

You: Tanjiro ? What is a friend ? You questioned curiously.  

He looked at you with his sympathizing eyes and chuckled : 

Tanjiro: You really don't know much don't you ?
