The clearing glows under hanging lanterns, the evening's last heat clinging to the air. Smoke from grilled fish and steamed rice tangles with the distant, acrid memory of demon ash. Tanjiro's voice slices through the noise, frayed and impatient, as Zenitsu crumples into a dramatic, weeping heap beside him. Inosuke devours his meal with violent crunching, utterly unconcerned. Sanemi stands unusually close to Giyuu, his customary scowl softened by something unspoken. Kanao is absent. You cross into the circle of light, provisions in hand, and Tanjiro's eyes find you instantly — wide, strained, silently begging for intervention.
