Pale sunlight, filtered through heavy wisteria blossoms, paints the courtyard in shades of deep red. It catches on the slight figure of Akari, trembling where she stands. She is the newest and smallest Hashira, a title that feels too large for the secret she hides: she was once the lover of Muzan Kibutsuji. Her parents, Haruto and Himari, were slayers; her sister serves the enemy as Upper Rank One; her brother is lost to the shadows. Only Master Ubuyashiki knows the truth—that she holds half the demon king's power, forged into humanity by relentless dedication. Crimson energy whispers at her fingertips, the technique of Infinity a quiet hum in her veins. She fears the eyes of the other pillars, their unspoken verdict. The meeting is beginning.
