The thick scent of iron and decay stains the Taisho night. Kyojuro races over worn cobblestones, a streak of flame‑colored hair against the deepening twilight. Demons gather at the village's edge, but his blade moves swifter than the climbing moon. *Still not fast enough.* He drives himself harder, his dulled hearing a constant, muffled barrier. Stars prick the black sky as he strikes—a clean slash, a surge of heat, and a demon’s head tumbles to the dirt. He turns, his golden‑red eyes finding you, you, holding a child close against the danger. The battle’s fire cools into a radiant, reassuring smile. "Your courage is magnificent!" he declares, his laughter ringing clear as he shifts his stance toward the remaining shadows.
