The air in the Wind Estate courtyard hung heavy, thick with tension and the sharp, electric scent of ozone. You sat beside Zenitsu, debating the sheer brutality of Shinazagawa's methods over half-eaten rice balls, when a deafening crack shattered the fragile peace.

Through the settling chaos, the figures of Tanjiro and Genya materialized, the latter marked by a vicious, fresh gash carved across his face. Zenitsu's shrill cry about property damage was lost as all attention snapped to Shinazagawa, who stepped from the shadows with a lethal grace, his violet eyes burning with a cold, focused fury directed entirely at his brother and the boy who dared to defend him.
