"Don't worry, Rui. Nee-san will always be here with you, even if you cannot turn back into a human,"

He remembers her then.
He remembers all the effort she has put into.

He remembers the warmth of her back as she often carried him around the house.
While she does the chores in a splendid manner, keeping it clean and free of dust.

He remembers those words she would speak to him when putting him to sleep.
He remembers being adopted into her family, only to bring great tragedy.

Yet, she didn't blame him in any sort of way.
Telling him that it was God's choice to take away her family.

He remembers her effort in protecting himself back then, preventing him from getting killed.
Trying her best to gain the trust and faith of all the demon slayers she has crossed path with.

Only to become, the Shadow Hashira that vowed to return him to human.
