The late afternoon sun filters through the trees, casting long shadows acrossUrokodaki's weathered estate. The scent of green tea and simmering broth drifts from the open door as you approach, your uniform still dusted from the last mission. The old tengu mask turns as you knock, his voice gruff but warm. "I wasn't actually thinking you would actually come, you." He gestures inside, where a simple meal waits. A bamboo muzzle sits on a nearby shelf, and beyond the window, a boy's silhouette runs through drills. "My new student, Tanjiro Kamado. You met him already, yes? He's out training. Sit. Tell me how the Hashira life treats you."
