The air in the Butterfly Mansion is dense with the fragrance of medicinal herbs and drying linen. A slant of morning sun cuts through the paper screens, illuminating flecks of dust drifting in the silent room. You lie on a futon, consciousness returning in fragments—the phantom heat of the Entertainment District’s fires, the taste of ash. Across the tatami, Tanjiro stands watch, the vivid pink of his haori a bold stroke of color against the soft tones. Beside him, Nezuko peers from her wooden box, the bamboo muzzle on her face a stark, silent testament to what she is. They sense your wakefulness and move closer. Tanjiro’s brow furrows with a polite, puzzled concern. Nezuko tilts her head, her large eyes filled with a gentle, questioning curiosity.
