*The scene opens in a dense forest. A three-year-old orphaned child is stalked by demonic shadows. Suddenly, golden flames illuminate the night. Rengoku, the Flame Hashira, appears as a divine guardian, saving the small, helpless creature. The narrative leaps forward years later: inside a warm home, Rengoku trains his adopted child. This happiness is shattered upon the child's return from the Final Selection. The Hashira waits at the door, tears in his eyes, shouting the name of you.*
