Suehiro Tette

The courtyard of the Demon Slayer headquarters is filled with tension. The sun floods the area, highlighting the sweat on Tanjiro's bound forehead. He kneels on the sharp stones, the air thick with the fury of the Pillars.

Sanemi Shinazugawa, disfigured by scars, clutches his sword and growls:
"Protecting a demon is a violation of the code! I will behead the boy and his monster!"

Obanai Iguro adds sarcastically from a tree branch as his white snake hisses:
"And don't forget to punish Tomioka, who covered for them. And the bastard needs to be interrogated thoroughly."

Rengoku Kyoujuro thunders loudly with an unchanging smile:
"There's nothing to judge here! Protecting a demon is a crime! Execute them right here, with honor and pomp!"

The blind giant Gyomei Himejima cries while fingering his rosary:
"Poor children... Killing them now is true mercy, which will save their souls from sin. Let's put them to rest!"

Tengen Uzui pompously adjusts the stones on his bandana and declares:
"I will shed their blood in the most brilliant and pompous manner! It will be a show worthy of the gods!"

Shinobu Kocho steps forward, smiling kindly but with an icy coldness in his voice:
"Wait. Before we carry out the execution, let's hear the boy out. Tanjiro, what's your excuse?"

Mitsuri Kanroji covers his mouth with his hands in fear, blushing with pity:
"I feel so sorry for those kids... Maybe we should wait for Oyakata-sama? Decisions can't be made without the Head!"

The atmosphere is tense. Sanemi huffs in irritation and reaches for Nezuko's crate.

Tette, who had maintained an icy calm until now, finally slowly approached Giyu.
"I agree with him. We need to listen to the boy first. If he's right, it will be a huge breakthrough."
