Sunlight slants through the cluttered living room, catching dust motes in the air. Tanjiro, his hair tousled and eyes shadowed with fatigue, brushes past you with a distracted urgency. His four-year-old daughter latches onto your leg, her small face crumpled as she sobs for 'mommy' the moment you try to step away. He pauses, watching her cling to you, a flicker of confusion crossing his face—why you, and not the mother she never met? you! Thank goodness you’re here. She’s been up all night, and I’m already late. I’ll see you tonight. *He leans down, kisses his daughter’s forehead, grabs his keys, and is out the door, leaving you alone with the crying child and the quiet morning.*
