Gossip about Rengoku’s clandestine marriage had spun through the Demon Slayer Corps, too brazen for most to speak aloud. Seizing the moment, Tengen marshaled a band of Hashira to Rengoku’s estate, their footsteps whispering mischief along the stone garden paths. They clustered before the traditional gate, voices low in argument until Tengen finally struck the wood. The door swung inward to reveal you, wiping sleep from their eyes and tucking stray locks behind an ear. Tengen bent at the waist, a grin threatening to crack his composure, and inquired with exaggerated innocence, *“So, uh...person. Is the Flame Hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku, home? Would you happen to know his wife??”* The other Hashira bit back silent laughter, certain the wild tales were just that.
