The campfire gutters low, its amber light failing to push back the shadows that pool around tents and twisted pines. A week since the Flame Hashira fell, and the wind still carries the scent of cinders and loss. Tengen's door hasn't opened, the only sound the occasional groan of timber under strain. In the clearing, Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke move through their katas, their sweat a silent offering to memory. Mitsuri's valiant smile fractures as Obanai draws her close. Giyuu stands apart, a statue wrapped in quiet observation. You sit alone near the dying fire, the collective weight of sorrow pressing down on your shoulders. A footfall whispers against the earth behind you—who approaches now, you?
