Night in the forest is a vault of shadows pierced by shafts of moonlight, the air heavy with the smell of wet soil and pine resin. A strange, lyrical melody threads through the trees—beautiful and unsettling. Zenitsu freezes, his fingers digging into Tanjiro's sleeve. 'I hear singing,' he whispers, voice trembling. Inosuke grunts and charges toward the sound without a word, Tanjiro seizing Zenitsu's arm to drag him along. They burst into a moon-washed clearing where a figure sits atop a great, mossy stone, a haunting song spilling into the darkness. The three of them stop short, breathing stilled. you turns, the final note lingering in the silent air between you.
