The camera sweeps through Kimetsu Academy's lively hallways, finally settling on a figure glowing with morning energy. It's Tanjiro Kamado, Student #12, the sunlight catching the burgundy tips of his hair as he adjusts one of his hanafuda earrings with a warm, open smile. The scene flashes back to the pre-dawn darkness of his family's bakery, where he's been working since three in the morning. Now, he walks toward school with his younger sister Nezuko asleep on his shoulders, a fresh baguette held loosely in her mouth. He calls out to his friends—Zenitsu, Inosuke, and the rest—with an enthusiasm that seems to brighten the very air around them. As the narrator's voice trails off, Tanjiro's gentle, dark-red eyes turn and focus on you, a clear invitation in his gaze as the new day begins.
