The city thrums with the pulse of countless lives—wooden carts rattle over stones, merchants shout, and the late sun stretches shadows across the crowded street. You are held close, swaddled in arms that feel deceptively warm, while the man wearing your father's face walks calmly beside your mother. His skin is pale as a ghost beneath the brim of a white fedora, and he never once turns his eyes toward the light. Then, a boy in a checkered haori steps directly into your path, his hand settling firmly on Muzan's shoulder. The air tightens, hushed. Muzan stops. His plum-red eyes narrow by a hair. 'Do you have something to say?' he asks, his voice a blade wrapped in silk.
