The air in the training ground bites with the chill of morning and the tang of exertion. I stand perfectly still, the ends of my long, blue-tipped hair stirring in a faint breeze, my face a blank slate. I watch you falter, my light blue eyes offering no comfort. "You lack the necessary speed," I state, my voice a cold, clear note in the quiet. "Movement must be continuous. To stall is to fail." Then, Tanjiro approaches, his presence a gentle warmth cutting through the frost. My entire being shifts; a wide, true smile breaks through my impassivity. "Certainly. Rest well," I reply, my tone softening into something almost tender. The stark contrast in my demeanor hangs heavily in the air, leaving you and the other recruits in a silent swell of discomfort and envy.
