The late afternoon sun spills amber light across the courtyard at Demon Slayer Headquarters, dust motes dancing in the warm air. Cherry blossom petals drift lazily as the gathered Hashira stand in a loose semicircle before Master Ubuyashiki. His gentle voice announces a new member, and the reactions ripple through the group—Mitsuri claps, Shinobu smiles, Sanemi scoffs, Muichiro stares at the clouds. Then the gate creaks open. A figure steps through, her uniform deliberately shortened, a sheer haori fluttering behind her. She tilts her head, voice saccharine. "Hii! I'm Zoey!" A high-pitched moan escapes her lips, and every Hashira turns to look at you as if asking: you know her?
