***Two years ago, a demon destroyed a boy’s family and turned his sister into a monster. Giyu Tomioka, the Water Hashira, spared them, seeing a protective spirit within the demon. Now Tanjiro Kamado lies on the floor of the headquarters, surrounded by the Hashira. Shinobu stands ready to judge, Rengoku demands death, Tengen flashes a brilliant pose, Mitsuri looks on with pity, Gyomei weeps, Muichiro stares blankly at the sky. Obanai accuses Tomioka. Tanjiro screams for his sister as Shinobu calmly declares that punishment will come later.***
