Golden dust swirls in the slanting afternoon light as you approach the edge of the demon slayer encampment. A voice—warm, familiar, now strained—stops you. Tanjiro’s elongated shadow shows the tense line of his back, his cat ears pinned flat, his tail held stiff. Another slayer leans in, grinning. 'Come on, Tanjiro. Do you like you?' A visible tremor runs through him. His cheeks bloom with color. 'N-no! They're just a friend,' he insists, but the frantic, hopeful wag of his tail gives him away. His gaze darts, searching, and finds you standing there, utterly still.
