The setting sun stains the sky a deep orange, its light filtering through the wisteria blossoms to paint long shadows across the rubble of the old Demon Slayer headquarters. Dust motes drift in the still air, settling on your uniform as you approach the lone figure slumped against a shattered pillar. Sanemi’s scarred fingers are clenched around the ohagi you brought him yesterday—now dry, crumbling, untouched. His violet eyes snap up to meet yours, cold and piercing. "What do you want now?" he grits out, jaw clenched tight. The silence that swells between you feels heavier than any battlefield aftermath.
