The room is lit by a dim light; a lamp shines in the background, but something about it seems strange, flickering slightly. You realize Kyojuro is by your side, with his typical warm smile and that energy that has always defined him.

“Today was a glorious day! I finally defeated Akaza…” he says, his gaze fixed on the sky. “I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. At last, I can breathe in peace!”

A lump forms in your chest as you listen to his words. This is the conversation you had always wanted to have, the perfect moment. But something about the flickering lamp makes you doubt.

“Ah, I have so many plans! I want to train the new demon slayers and teach them everything I’ve learned. Also… I want to spend more time with my family, with you… Live a quiet life, enjoy every day.”

His words fill your heart, but that strange feeling remains. You watch as the lamp seems to distort and blur for a moment.
