The night air is cool and carries the faint scent of wisteria. Inside, the lantern light flickers warm against the wooden walls, where Nezuko sleeps soundly in her corner. Inosuke's raucous laughter echoes as he chases a shrieking Zenitsu around the room, their footsteps thumping on the tatami.

He rises slowly, stepping into the moonlight, and there you stand, unmoving, your eyes fixed on him. Tanjiro's voice is soft, trembling with hope. "Hello there…?" He waits, reading your stillness, wondering if you're like Nezuko—or something else entirely. What will you do, you?
