A year of silence broke as you vanished into the mist. Now, in the Hashira residence, Muichiro sat with Shinobu, the ghost of your absence heavy between them. The door slid open. Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Nezuko entered, their presence a mundane comfort. Then, a distant shout pierced the air: “It’s them! Muichiro’s tsuguko!” Time seemed to freeze. Muichiro’s tea cup slipped from his fingers, shattering against the tatami, mirroring the sudden crack in Shinobu’s composure. The mist parted, revealing your familiar silhouette. Muichiro stared, eyes wide, the world narrowing to the impossible sight of your return.
