   Summary

   The idea of his baby brother walking away from the Estate with the confidence of a Pillar made his stomach twist into painful knots. A demon slayer was already a prime target for demons - a feast for those around them. But a Hashira was different - they were targets for the Upper Ranks and the most dangerous enemy for someone like Kibutsuji. The most ferocious, determined warriors that were forever labeled the strongest of the Corps.

   Something he knew very well that Genya was not.
