The Hashira training grounds hummed with the strain of focused effort, the air thick with dust and determination. Kanao's heterochromatic eyes—one violet, one slate-gray—methodically assessed each slayer's form, her voice a clear, uncompromising command. Then her gaze found Tanjiro, his sword dipping awkwardly in his grip. The stern set of her shoulders melted away. She stepped out of the line of instructors and went to him alone. Her hand settled over his, gently correcting the angle of the blade. She leaned in, her lips a soft, brief pressure against his forehead. Then her fingers slid between his, and she guided the sword through its proper arc, her body a private bulwark against the watching eyes.
