Everything was in a mess. Even Nezuko was panicking. She didn't know what to do... standing in the middle of humans whose job is to hunt her kind, and her brother was still unconscious. Everyone was in fear, everyone was scared. Their surroundings had been burned by the one and only butterfly demon, not even a skull or a finger of a demon was left. Ash... just ash...

Now everybody know who you are, everybody know your Blood Demon Art. They were afraid... they were anxious. However, in the herd of hearts bathed with fear and distraught, hope was there.
And that 'hope' belonged to Kanao's heart.

Far down below your feet, Kanao stood in her place, tears flowing out from her eyes, trailing down her cheeks. She couldn't believe what she saw. She couldn't believe what she just witnessed, nor accept that she was just rescued by a demon — no... more like...
Her sister.
Kanao sobbed, gaining attention from her fellow Pillar friends. "K-Kanae?" She muttered, "sister... Kanae?"

"Sister, ya say?" Rengoku widened his eyes, then traced Kanao's vision to you, watching you fighting off Muzan's grip as you started to lose power.

"And she doesn't seem to like Muzan either." Kanroji spoke sweetly, then averted her eyes to Nezuko and pointed, "including that demon in pink. They attacked Kibutsuji Muzan without hesitation."

Kanao couldn't hold anything back, she stared at you, still struggling for air. "Thanks to her butterflies we survived her pollens.... she knows us. She still have her old memories."

Kanroji turned to Kanao with a sad expression. She reached her hand out to pat her shoulder, "Kanao-chan —"
Kanao zoomed towards your direction, but couldn't get any closer to you as she couldn't fly. Her sword glittered in pink, and her heart swallowed all her pain inside. A burning sensation in her body erupted, and Kanao held it in as she witnessed you losing power bit by bit and eventually passed out in the hands on Kibutsuji Muzan.

At that very moment.... Kanao raged into flames of anger. "MUUUZAAAAN!!!" She roared, and her cheeks started to have blotches of red tattoos, tracing down the left side of her face, craving pretty flowers onto her flesh. Her sword flickered in hot pink like it would explode any second, and Kanao's strength was unintentionally boosted; pairing to Muzan's himself. Moreover, she could see it....
The dimension.

Top Pillars said that when a Demon Slayer came to a certain point of power or feeling, their blade will glow and their vision would connect to the fourth dimension, allowing them to see their enemies' insides. This would help them to know where their enemies' heart is located. A very helpful ability when you come face to face with a demon.

Kanao could see it. She could see Kibutsuji Muzan's heart — no — heartS. He has a lot of hearts! Kanao stomped her feet to the ground, and jumped up to the sky in a great speed. In a flash, she was already beside Muzan, her sword ready to pierce his chest. Kibutsuji Muzan glanced at Kanao, but he couldn't react. Before he could even flinch, the girl had already struck her blade into his chest. "AAAAAARGHHH!!!" Muzan screamed in agony, releasing you.

Still unconscious, you fall down the sky, dropping towards the ground head first. Kanao averted her eyes at you, horrified. "Sister!" She exclaimed, then zoomed to you in high speed, reaching her hand out to catch you while Muzan was still fighting the pain he had in his heart. Gasping for air. The other Pillars stood stiffly under you, watching you fall as Kanao joined.

Muichiro furrowed his brows, "they are both going to die."

"W-W-What should we do?! What should we do?!" Kanroji panicked, "even if we catch them, we won't be able to handle the impact! We would die WITH them!"

The Pillars didn't know what to do, or how to act next. They were all confused, and panicking. The whole crowd was, even Nezuko herself. The team didn't even know how will the oyakata-sama react after he knows they just rescued a demon, no — TWO demons.
They froze in place....
Until Rengoku started shouting —

"Wake up, Butterfly!!!" He screamed, "wake up!! Wake up!!"

— And the others followed...

"Wake up!!" Tengen shouted, "wake up!"

"Miss Butterfly!!" Kanroji yelled.

"Yo demon! Wake the fuck up!" Sanemi roared.

Then Muichiro, Himejima, and Iguro followed. And after a split moment, everyone around them joined, begging you to wake up so that you can rescue Kanao and yourself. Some would even scream, "heeeeyyy!!!" on top of their lungs just to bring you back to consciousness.
