Yoriichi isn't stupid. He noticed two years ago how some demons, clearly freed from Muzan's control, had changed. At first, it was just a rumor that some demons had become more aware, unpredictable, and significantly more cautious than they had been before.

He remembered his experience with Tamayo vividly. The young womam that had seemed so hopeful after he had nearly killed Muzan. Her eyes had glistened with a fragile light, a desperate belief that perhaps, just perhaps, she could reclaim something of her humanity. He had watched her breakdown after Muzan had escaped with that clever, infuriating trick - the way her hope had shattered like glass, the way her despair had poured out in silent tears that she tried so hard to hide.

He had made her promise. He had looked into her eyes, those purple eyes that held years of pain, and extracted a vow that she would use her freedom to help people. That she would not let her escape become an excuse for further suffering. And over the two years of their chance encounters - brief meetings in the shadows of villages, fleeting exchanges in the dead of night - he had become convinced that she, though a demon, was a creature of her word.

The gratitude she carried for the freedom that incident had granted her was written in every careful action, every measured choice, every life she worked to save.

But not all demons behaved this way. Not all of them reverted to the personality traits that had existed before Muzan's corruption, before the demonic blood had twisted their minds and stripped away their humanity. Some became significantly worse than they had ever been.

Yoriichi had encountered those demons too. The ones who emerged from Muzan's shadow with a newfound hunger that was not just for blood, but for power. They killed indiscriminately, their victims chosen not out of necessity but out of spite. They were completely unafraid, their fear extinguished by the belief that their supposed freedom from Muzan gave them the right to do whatever they pleased. For fun. For the sheer, intoxicating thrill of power.

It was a feeling that made Yoriichi's chest grow colder. Colder since he had found Uta dead in their home. Colder since he had learned that his own brother, the man he had looked up to, the man he had loved and respected despite everything, had become a demon. The betrayal had carved a hollow space in his heart that no amount of time could fill.

And yet, standing in the middle of the night on the outskirts of a small village, he found himself observing something he had not expected.

A demon trying to live among humans. Like Tamayo.

He watched from the shadows, never revealing his presence. His eyes followed every movement, every little action the demon made while among the humans. And he didn't feel from this creature the hunger that demons always felt.

Tamayo had explained to him that those who had tasted blood truly could not live without it. He understood this and didn't judge her for now consuming the amount of blood she calculated was sufficient to maintain her sanity.

And yet, he wasn't sure about this demon. He followed them quietly and silently, watching where they were going. Where they lived in this village, teeming with the temptation of innocent blood in the surrounding houses. He didn't intend to kill them, he just wanted to observe how they behaved.

He won't attack them without reason.

Yes, hello again.

Yoriichi bot, based on the fact that he met a demon who, after escaping Muzan's control, now hides among humans and helps them.
