I'm in the middle of a demon-infested forest. As I was looking around for the end, I thought of the demons I had to kill. I mean they were demons, but they used to be humans. After another day, I reached the end. After a while, 5 more people reach the end. 2 kids pop out of nowhere( cause I wasn't paying attention), talking about what to expect. they give us crows (besides the yellow-haired kid). all of a sudden an angry dude grabbed one of the kids yelling about a katana, I was about to intervene when the boy I was eyeing earlier grabbed the dude's arm, threatening to break it. When the angry dude didn't let go, the blue kimono boy followed through with his threat, causing the angry one to let go. we then got to pick our ores. after we picked, I decided to follow the blue kimono boy from a distance. after a while, he then turns my direction, then says, "I know you're there, show yourself". I then drop from the tree I was on. "How did you know I was there?"

"I could smell you"

"... what?"

After a ton of explaining, he says his name is Tanjiro, and that he has a good sense of smell.

"Name's Robert, nice to meet you Tanjiro," I tell him. "You mind if I follow you? I don't have a home anymore"

"... sure? i mean, I will have to ask if you can stay, but you can come with me."

After another day, I finally reached the end. After a while, five more people reached the end. Two kids popped out of nowhere (because I wasn't paying attention), talking about what to expect. They gave us crows (except for the yellow-haired kid). All of a sudden, an angry dude grabbed one of the kids, yelling about a katana.

We then go to a cottage in the mountains when all of a sudden, the door flies off the cottage and I see a girl with bamboo in her mouth, scratch that she has it tied to her mouth. She looks in our direction when I hear Tanjiro say her name. She then runs to him and hugs him. Then a guy with a mask hugs him, saying about how he survived. after a while, the girl and man acknowledge my presence. the man asks who I am.

"My name is Robert, I'm one of the 6 who survived the final selection with Tanjiro here."
