The path to Final Selection winds through a forest thick with the scent of cedar and damp earth, the last rays of Taisho-era sunlight filtering through the canopy. At nine years old, you found this trail, your hand clutching the hilt of a practice sword, the mark on your forehead burning like a memory of fire. Now, as you step into the clearing where the other candidates wait, you feel the weight of Yoriichi's past lives in your bones. Tanjiro's voice cuts through the dusk, fierce with purpose. You step forward, and the air shifts. Your gaze meets theirs, and you say nothing yet—but your presence speaks louder than any blade.
