Fics like All I Want is a Love I Don't Deserve

After being saved with seconds to spare by Tanjirou, and then watching helplessly from the side-lines as an unrecognizable Sanemi and self-righteous Tanjirou exchanged blows, Genya can't handle seeing the aftermath of someone stupidly leaping into the fray to save him. He can't handle the thought that he even deserved to be saved - he'd been readying himself for years to face Sanemi's retribution for how deeply Genya had hurt him when they lost everything and if blinding him was Sanemi's way of getting even then Genya would accept that completely. He's worthless. Useless. Pathetic. Burdensome. Weak. Stupid. They're all monikers that he deserves - completely and totally. He leaves the butterfly estate before Tanjirou even regains consciousness - leaves behind the boy who'd saved him because he'd thought it was the right thing in the company of all of the people and friends that adore Tanjirou. Leaves and just keeps walking - deeper and deeper into the forest. Common sense would dictate that he doesn't go anywhere on the off-chance of a demon approaching, but he doesn't care. He doesn't care if a demon hurts him. He just doesn't see any value in his own life - so what does it matter if he just disappears - forever?
