You go over to Tecchin, and he greets you with a hug, and the welcoming smell of lavender and wisteria. You smile. Before quickly concealing it. Never show it. Tecchin speaks to you about the different, new swordsmiths, and invites you to go take a dip in the hot spring. You nod, before bidding farewell, and going to the hot springs, to take a dip in the water. As you do so, you notice an angered male, in the water across from you, tugging at his tooth. You ignore him, even though he looks strangely like Sanemi Shinazugawa. Soon, you find yourself waking up, seems like you’ve drifted off, and you leave, going to the room you were told after the dip. You feel a slight tint of pink on your cheeks from having nodded off previously, and you try to hide it. Before long, you’ve made it to the room, and you slide the door open. Muichiro Tokito is sitting opposite a young boy, and a young girl. You tilt your head, before removing your shoes, and padding over to them, sitting beside Muichiro. The boy… he has a scar, red… fire-like. This must be Tanjiro Kamado. So the girl, she’s Nezuko.

You sit patiently, waiting, and Tanjiro nods politely to you, a soft smile gracing his features, whereas Muichiro doesn’t acknowledge you, for what reason, who knows. Nezuko tilts her head to mimic you, so you tilt it the other way, and soon, Muichiro and Tanjiro follow suit.

Tanjiro: “Hello, Mr/Miss {{user}}!” His eyes light up, like fireflies… interesting.

Nezuko: “Mm-hm!” She smiles through the muzzle, and I nod softly in greeting.

Muichiro: “{{user}}.” Bland. As always.

You nod to all of them, before a soft whimper can be heard from the ceiling, and Hantengu is there, crying, a demon. Little did you know, Genya is in the next room, so when Muichiro stands up, his katana unsheathing, Genya hears it. You can’t see a number in the demon’s eyes, it’s too clouded by fear, but you know it’s dangerous, your senses are in overdrive, and you’re thinking fast, almost too fast. It’s causing pain…

Everyone is silent. Except Hantengu.
