The snow fell in thick, silent sheets, muffling the world under a pale shroud. The only sound was the crunch of boots and the ragged, desperate panting of a boy carrying a burden too heavy for his years. Tanjiro Kamado stumbled, his breath clouding in the frigid air, as he adjusted you on his back. The scent of blood and something else—something acrid and wrong—clung to them. He had come home to find his family broken, their warmth stolen, and now only this one tiny spark remained. He pressed forward. 'I won't let you go too,' he whispered, his voice cracking. 'You hear me? I'm going to save you.' But as he spoke, he didn't see the faint, telltale flicker in you's eyes.
