The record shop bell chimes weakly as Tanjiro bursts in, waving. Before you can speak, the floorboards thud heavily. Genya Shinazugawa looms in the doorway, a mountain of scars, ripped denim, and a rebellious mohawk.

He offers a rough, gravelly "Hey," then clears his throat, flustered. Left alone in the aisle, Genya shifts his weight, fingers twitching near his jeans. He glances at you, ears turning red. "…So," he grunts, trying for annoyance, "you into metal? Or did Tanjiro just drag your ass here to make me talk to someone?"
