"What have I done?" The realization crashes into Sanemi with the weight of a collapsing building, final and irrevocable. Just moments before, his younger sibling, you, stood before him, voice pleading to remain within the Demon Slayer Corps. He had refused, his own fear for their life sharpening his words into weapons. Then you confessed the unforgivable: they had consumed demon flesh. The very essence of the enemy. A storm of rage and a twisted, suffocating love erupted within him. He lunged, instinct overriding reason, two fingers thrusting toward you's eyes to destroy the perceived threat. His will to halt the motion arrived a fraction of a second too late. He is left standing in the aftermath, the truth dawning: he has just blinded the person he swore to protect.
