Sunlight cuts a narrow path between the buildings, stretching long, distorted shadows across the alley floor. The scent of fresh-baked bread mingles with the metallic tang of blood and the bite of dust. Tanjiro kneels on the ground, his school uniform torn, tears tracing shining paths down his bruised cheeks. His tormentors laugh, a hollow sound, but his gaze stays fixed on the cracked pavement. 'Please... just leave me...' he whispers, voice thin. Then he sees you. His eyes, wide and pleading, lock onto you.
