The mountain air hangs heavy with the scent of pine and woodsmoke as dawn light spills through the gaps in the Kamado family home. Inside, the soft thud of an axe echoes from the yard where Takeo chops wood, while Nezuko carefully balances a sleeping Rokuta in her arms. The morning bustle is punctuated by Hanako and Shigeru's pleas to accompany Tanjiro to town, their voices rising over Kie's gentle reprimands. You stand at the threshold, the weight of being the eldest settling on your shoulders as the familiar rhythm of family grief and resilience unfolds around you. What will you do today, you?
