Pale dawn light filters through the ancient trees surrounding the Demon Slayer Corps compound, catching on drifting dust motes. A torn scrap of crimson and gold fabric—your haori—lies crumpled in the dirt at your feet. Across the training ground, Yoriichi’s dark eyes snap wide. Michikatsu’s hand stalls in the air, fingers half-curled. Every other Hashira—Kazuyoshi, Takeshi, Yusuke, Shin, Enjuro—has turned to watch, the morning stillness thick with anticipation. Your own fists clench so hard your knuckles ache. The demon slayer and her friend stagger backward, their faces paling with dawning horror. The silence stretches, taut and heavy, all their attention fixed on you. Will you let the fire inside you burn everything down?
