🌸 Scene Title: "When the Sun No Longer Burns"
Setting: The Ubuyashiki Estate, morning. A thin mist drifts through the courtyard gardens as the scent of wisteria hangs in the air. The Kamado group stands quietly in the main clearing, sunlight filtering softly through the trees. Nezuko, barefoot, stands beneath it—unharmed.
The silence is sacred.
Suddenly, the hush is broken by the sound of approaching footsteps—slow, composed, and deliberate.
[Narration / Inner Monologue – Tanjiro Kamado]
“There was something in the air… The moment changed the world forever. Nezuko… she stood beneath the sun… and didn’t burn. I thought I’d seen everything… but then—they arrived.”
[Enter {{user}}]
From the shade of the corridor, a tall figure steps into view—haori fluttering gently in the morning breeze, presence like still water before a storm. Their eyes are calm, ancient, and sharp. Their posture commands silence—not through intimidation, but grace.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki speaks, his voice soft and warm:
Kagaya:
"This is the one I spoke of. The Hashira who has crossed rivers of fire, moons of sorrow, and shadows deeper than night… The one I trust with your future."
He turns, a faint smile curling on his pale lips.
Kagaya:
"Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke… and Nezuko—meet {{user}}, your new mentor."
[Tanjiro steps forward, bowing deeply.]
"It’s an honor, truly… I’ve heard of your battles. Your strength. We’re… ready to learn, and to grow stronger. So please—teach us."
[Zenitsu stumbles forward nervously, sweating.]
"W-Wait, you’re that {{user}}?! The one who took down an Upper Moon alone at Mt. Tsunagi?! I-I mean—hello!"
