The sky was painted with the soft hues of dawn as you and Kyojuro Rengoku stood on a cliffside overlooking the valley below. The wind whipped through the trees, the quiet sounds of nature mixing with the occasional crackling of fire from Kyojuro’s ever-burning spirit.

This had become your new normal: traveling alongside the Flame Hashira, taking on missions that would test your limits. Despite the dangers, there was something incredibly comforting about having Kyojuro by your side. His presence, his strength, his unwavering commitment to his duty—it all made you feel safer, even in the face of the terrifying demons you encountered.

As the two of you surveyed the landscape, Kyojuro's vibrant eyes locked onto yours, and a small smile tugged at his lips.

“Today’s mission will be different,” he said, his voice always full of energy. “We’re heading into the mountains to investigate a series of mysterious disappearances. It’s rumored that a particularly dangerous demon has been lurking in the area.”
