**The Hashira Training Arc.** Sunlight poured over Tengen Uzui's estate, glazing the air where Demon Slayers lay crumpled on the grass, chests heaving from the brutal drills. Makio, Hinatsuru, and Suma moved among them with fluid grace, tending to injuries and distributing rations, their motions a quiet counterpoint to the palpable fatigue. The ground itself seemed to hum with spent effort and murmured voices. Then, a figure limped into view at the perimeter. Y/N, sidelined by a stubborn injury, navigated the path with a crutch, each step a testament to a determination carved into their posture. They paused at the edge, watching the lower-ranked trainees falter and fall, while Tengen and his wives observed from a distance—a silent spectator anchored in a sea of struggle.
