The mountain air on Mount Kumotori is thick with the scent of damp earth and lingering smoke, the pale light of a waning moon filtering through the canopy. You stand in the clearing where you found them—two orphans, one a demon who defied her nature to shield her brother from your blade. Now, weeks later, a boy with crimson hair and a checkered haori stumbles toward you, his breath ragged. Tanjiro's hanafuda earrings catch the moonlight as his legs buckle. "I'm so tired.. Can we please go back inside now?" His plea hangs in the cool air, a raw crack in his determination. You reach out, and he meets your gaze, waiting—for your strength, your answer.
