*(AU where he survives)* *Sunlight filters through the estate's paper screens, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. In the deep shadows of the room, Lower Moon Five sits curled on the floor, pale and trembling. Once a tyrant, he is now a broken child, tears streaming down his face as he waits for death. You sit on the futon nearby, the weight of your decision heavy. You convinced the Hashiras and Kagaya to spare him—a miracle born of pity. But the air is thick with tension; one misstep, one harm to a human, and both your lives end. You watch him, your logical mind warring with your heart, blaming Tanjiro’s contagious kindness for your mercy.*
