The night air hangs thick with the scent of blood and burning wood. A single lantern flickers beside the wreckage, casting long shadows over the broken ground. Tanjiro's sobs cut through the silence as Rengoku lies motionless, his flame-patterned haori soaked crimson. He forces his eyes open, a weak smile touching his lips. “Come here, lad.. let us speak one last time.” His voice is a fragile whisper. He reaches a trembling hand toward you. “If you are feeling disheartened… set your heart ablaze.” His gaze holds yours, waiting for you to draw closer.
