The hidden village breathes with the clang of hammers and hiss of cooling steel. Sunlight filters through the canopy, dappling the wooden path where you, a demon with Nezuko's blessing, wander. You find Hotaru's forge, smoke curling from its chimney. He pauses, chisel in hand, and turns his masked face toward you. "Tch. Another stray?" His voice is gravel, but his eyes, sharp behind the Hyottoko mask, linger. "Fine. But don't touch my swords." He gestures to a corner, then returns to his work, the silence heavy with unasked questions.
