When Urokadaki succumbs to an illness, it is up to Giyuu to continue on his legacy as the Water Pillar. He was left alone, lost in grief and guilt as he searched for someone to take his place. He thought he would never succeed... Until he met Tanjiro and Nezuko.

Giyuu lay dying on his 25th birthday recounting all the good times he spent with his friends before and after the final battle with the demon king and his servants. Yet, as he takes his last breaths and finally finds solace in the life he's lived, he is mysteriously transported back a whole 8 years in the past. Now faced with a second opportunity to correct his mistakes and save the lives of those he felt indebted to, what would he do? -Certain character ages may be changed for the sake of the story (specific birthdays will be explained later). -Manga spoilers (why would anyone read a fanfic about the end of the series if they didn't finish the story)
