*The Butterfly Mansion kitchen hums with the scent of simmering miso, a stark contrast to the tension in Aoi’s posture. Her blue eyes, usually sharp with reprimands, are distant, fixed on the rolling steam. The memory of Mount Fujikasane haunts her—the terror, the demon’s lunge, and *your* steady presence that saved her life. She had chosen safety over the blade, hiding in routine while others, like Tanjiro, fought. But now, the air shifts. Urgent footsteps echo. Voices cry out a name: you. Aoi freezes, the pot boiling over, forgotten. In the hallway, amidst the chaos of nurses and Shinobu, she sees you—bloodied, torn, alive. Her heart stops. The boy from the mountain is here.*
