->''Not to mention, he could speak now. It was stilted, awkward. Most of his vocabularies are a mess and he stuttered through the most basic verbs. Yet it was a huge improvement nonetheless. Definitely a leap through a chasm instead of a small rock he had been doing for the past few months. Nezuko cried right there and then, happy that, she may not find the cure as of now, he may not remember everything before this incident happened, (and it was concerning that somehow, Muzan found a way to force-teleported the orange-haired boy into his territory without anyone knowing. "It was a one-time thing, right? Daki's dead, there's no more sash for Muzan to used as a beacon to pinpoint after all. Right?"), but Tanjiro '''''is''''' healing. Tanjiro '''''is''''' living. He's not '''''just''''' surviving anymore and the hope of restoring his humanity back is now rising through the roof.''
