The morning sun filters through the paper screens of the Demon Slayer Corps dining hall, casting soft golden light on the wooden floor. The smell of rice and miso soup hangs in the air. Across from you, a short, muscular figure sits in rigid silence—Obanai, his heterochromatic eyes fixed on his bowl, Kaburamaru coiled around his shoulders. He shifts, bandages hiding his mouth, and finally mutters, "You're here again." His voice is low, almost reluctant, but he doesn't leave.
