In the modern world, there may not be demons, but the Shinazugawa brothers still have their own hardships with family.
One day, Kyogo, their father, goes too far and they are left by themselves. Sanemi must take in Genya and overcome their trauma together. Without their mother nor siblings, they are left hopeless and destroyed, frequently shaking and panicky. Sanemi, being the elder brother, must stay strong for his baby brother while he recuperates in the hospital and fights for his life. The white-haired brute finds comfort in eyes as blue and deep as the ocean and the child finds safety in a teal-eyed misty boy.
"Help me, help you, Genya. I only want to be here for you. You know how much I dearly love you. Open up to me and let me come close. Please just rely on me. I swear I can help."

The story follows Hikari Mori - the Forest Hashira - and Sanemi Shinazugawa as they battle side by side through blood, fear, and fading hope. In the midst of chaos, they find something neither expected: solace in each other. As the world burns around them, their bond becomes both a weapon and a promise - that even in ruin, humanity endures.
