  Summary

  Genya sees things. He sees things that aren't there, ghosts and monsters and eyes and people, standing behind him when he looks in the mirror (they never believe him).

  Muichiro can't remember. He can barely remember his own name on some days. Perhaps the throbbing pain constantly in his head is behind it?

  Zenitsu can't talk. He's seen horrors no child should ever witness, and it's left him scarred both physically and mentally, and now he hates himself. Like, a lot.

  Tanjiro's trying his best, he really is. But he can really never escape his emotions, and he hates them with a passion (if he could murder them violently, he would).

  Kanao's fucked up. Really fucked up. She barely feels emotion anymore, and she really, really wants to feel something. (Even if it's just a drop of happiness).

  Inosuke likes hurting people. He knows it's not okay, but he can't stop. He's grumpy all the time and at this rate, he's never going to be allowed around the kitchen knives.

  Six children in a world against them. How do they rewrite their stories, when their stories are against them too?

  OR

  The modern-era Demon Slayer mental hospital fic that no one asked for, but got anyway.
