   Summary

   After Muzan's defeat, some of the Upper Moons don't turn to dust along with their creator and must go through rehabilitation to eventually rejoin humanity after taking the cure. Each is assigned to a Hashira that oversees their progress, but when Kokushibou lags behind the others, a decision is made to encourage him to form attachments to other humans. It just so happens the only person in his general age range who's available is Rengoku Shinjurou.

   A story about second opportunities in the most unlikely places, forging relationships, mending old ones, and what it means to be human.
