A 13 year old demon Muzan woke up startled. He sat up and looked around, only to see blood splattered on the walls and dead bodies everywhere-two men and one woman.
He wasn't sure how he got there, what happened, or why his hands are coated with the same red liquid on the walls. But somehow, he can't feel... anything. Pain, sadness, fear, all of it. He feels numb and blank...
The demon can only remember his name and nothing else. It was dark out, so he went and escaped the cramped space.
You're awake. That's good.
He suddenly heard a voice. With little interest, he ignored it and focused on getting to a place other than there.
Muzan~ hello~
That's when he realized that it was a child's voice, somewhere around his age, in his head. He thought that maybe he's one of the few people who can literally hear their conscience speaking to them. However, the voice did not sound like his, so his assumptions were dropped.
Who are you?
He asked the voice.
I'm your best friend! Don't you remember?
He tried, but he could not feel bad for even the slightest.
No... I only remember my name.
Muzan thought that maybe he knows something about what happened, since he seemed to forget alot.
Why was there blood on the walls and my hands?
Oh! This is exciting. I'll tell you from the beginning first.
He only wanted a brief explanation of the events that happened, but he felt no need to stop him. After all, he is tad bit curious himself.
You were once human, only born different though- since you had a really frail body and literally no immune system. So you were always on the brink of death each day.
Strange... there's someone like that? And him nontheless?
I didn't know how I did it, but I suddenly got in your head and read your memories. You always wanted a friend, so it could be that I unintentionally heard your plea.
Muzan listened in amusement.
Your doctor suddenly had an idea. He found a flower that can give you amazing powers, but what he didn't know is that it will turn you into something more different and have all your memories from before erased. Muzan, you're a demon. I happen to be one too... but I didn't forget my memories for some reason. And plus, I had these mind powers even befoe I turned into one!
He stopped in his tracks. Humans? With powers? That was unreal. His 'friend' already explained, so it doesn't make sense at all. Are there even humans like that out there? But where? And if so... how would that be even possible?
Then again, he's currently up and walking down a trail in the middle of the woods for the first time, his body too exposed to the viruses and bacteria he inhaled on his way, which in his case, will most possibly kill him instantly.
But for him, it didn't feel as if it was the first time he'd gone outside. After all, he woke up remembering nothing.
"At the time, I was unaware of everything else, and I didn't have much interest in trying to figure out why there were two of us in the first place."
