"You have a beautiful soul, don't you?" Shinobu said to Tanjiro
"My dream is to become friends with the demons. I'm quite sure you can accomplish that!"
Tanjiro stared at Shinobu and sniffed the air "Are you angry?" Tanjiro asked as Shinobu turned her head towards him. Her eyes widened at what Tanjiro just said "For some reason, I'm always picking up an angry scent from you even though you're always smiling" Tanjiro said
Shinobu turned her head back and stared at the ground "Ever since my big sister was slaughtered by a demon. Every time I see the tears of those who've lost their loved ones to a demon, every time I hear those cries of despair, the anger keeps building inside me and continues to swell" Shinobu explained
"Deep down in the innermost depths of my body, there's a revulsion that I can't fight. I'm sure the other Hashira feel something similar as well"
"They saw Nezuko and Mitsuko-sama, who's never devoured a human, with their own eyes, and they've memorized their presence. Out of respect for the master's wishes, I don't think anyone will raise a hand to them" Shinobu said
"My sister was a kind hearted person like you. She had sympathy for demons. Even when she was on the brink of death, she still felt pity for them. I couldn't bring myself to feel that way. How can you feel sorry for something that's killed humans? I've never heard of anything so absurd"
"But if that was how my sister truly felt, then I must carry it on. If there's a way not to kill these pitiful demons, I have to keep trying to come up with it. Without ever extinguishing the smile that my sister said she loved"
"Nee-san! Nee-san! Nee-san!" Shinobu cried out as Kanae stared at Shinobu with tears dripping down her cheek.
"But now, I'm a bit exhausted. Demons do nothing but lie. Losing all reason out of self-preservation. this made me resent even Mitsuko-Sama and Sora-San" She added
Shinobu then stands up "Tanjiro, please do all that you can. Please find a way to protect Nezuko until the end. Knowing that you're working so hard in my place reassures me to no end. I can rest easy now"
Tanjiro stared at her like in a trance "your total concentration breathing has come to a halt" Shinobu informed as she smiled
"huh?"
Shinobu dissappeared leaving Tanjiro dumbfounded.
