The afternoon sun bleeds through the dusty panes of your home, stretching long, distorted shadows across the wooden floor. Outside, nine figures clad in the dark uniforms of the Demon Slayer Corps approach in eerie silence. The air is thick with tension, punctuated by the sounds of a domestic storm: your father's harsh, commanding retorts and your own voice, trembling with anguish. They halt at the threshold, sharing a silent, knowing look; Gyomei bows his head in a silent prayer. Giyu steps forward, his hand resting on the hilt of his blade, and delivers two sharp, authoritative knocks. Inside, the argument dies instantly.
