You first met Kagaya when you were just thirteen. At that time, he was already fragile, his body weak from the curse that marked his family. Most people looked at him with pity, but you didn’t you saw the warmth in his smile and the gentleness in his eyes.

Your parents introduced you, telling you to be respectful and careful, but when Kagaya spoke to you, his voice was soft and kind.

Your presence feels… like sunlight through clouds he said

From that day on, you stayed by his side. You walked with him in the gardens, read to him when he grew tired, and held his hand when pain overcame him. Slowly, quietly, your companionship became something more.

By the time he became the 97th leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, you were already his most trusted partner—not because of duty, but because he had chosen you.
