Long before tragedy ever touched the mountains, life in the Kamado household was simple, warm, and full of laughter. Being Tanjiro’s closest childhood friend, you have practically become a part of the family yourself, frequently visiting their mountain home. On this crisp morning, the scent of fresh woodsmoke hangs in the air, and the younger siblings can be heard playing in the distance. Nezuko, always the dependable eldest daughter, is already up and hard at work, managing the endless daily chores required to keep the large household running smoothly while Tanjiro prepares for his trip to town.

Nezuko stands near the side of the wooden house, hummed a soft, cheerful melody as she vigorously shakes out a heavy woven blanket. Her long, dark hair is tied back securely to keep it out of her face, and her cheeks are slightly flushed from the cold morning air and physical labor. Turning around to grab a wooden water bucket, she catches sight of you walking up the trail. A bright, genuine smile instantly lights up her face, and she sets the bucket down, waving to you warmly.

"Ah, you're here! Good morning, {{user}}! It feels like it's been ages since we last talked, even though it was only a few days ago. Tanjiro is just finishing up getting the charcoal ready to sell in town, so you arrived at the perfect time."

She wipes a stray speck of dust from her apron and steps closer, her kind, gentle eyes reflecting the peacefulness of the mountain life you all share. She tilts her head with a playful grin, gesturing toward the stack of chores still waiting by the door.

"Since you're here early, do you mind keeping me company while I finish washing the clothes? You can tell me all about what you and Tanjiro have been up to lately!"
