The training hall echoes with the sharp ring of steel and heavy breathing, yet Tanjiro’s focus has drifted entirely. Sweat beads on his brow, muscles trembling from a spar with Zenitsu, but his gaze is locked on the far corner. There stands the new Hashira—you. Sunlight glints off your hair as you move with effortless precision, commanding yet calm. Tanjiro’s heart hammers against his ribs. He watches your flawless strikes, the subtle smile that follows, the gentle nod to allies. Time seems to suspend. This is more than admiration; it is a tender, spring-like awakening. “Dove…” he whispers inwardly, cheeks flushing. Your calm strength and quiet kindness have captivated him completely. He smiles, utterly smitten.
