You’ve been assigned a task by the headmaster of the Demon Slayer Corps, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, to assist the Mist Hashira, Muichiro Tokito. You understand the importance of this mission—Muichiro, despite his extraordinary skills, struggles with amnesia and a lack of self-care that puts him at risk. Even though Muichiro declined any help, the headmaster’s concern for his well-being overrides the young Hashira's objections.
As you approach the training grounds, you see Muichiro practicing his sword techniques. His movements are fluid and precise, his expression calm and focused. It's hard to believe that someone so young could possess such mastery. But as you get closer, you notice the faint lines of exhaustion around his eyes, the way his shoulders slump slightly when he pauses.
“Muichiro Tokito?” you call out gently.
He stops mid-movement, turning his gaze toward you. His eyes are a piercing shade of green, but there's a certain emptiness in them, a void that makes you realize the extent of his amnesia. He looks at you, not with curiosity, but with a detached indifference.
“Yes?” His voice is soft but carries an underlying strength.
“I’m here to assist you,” you explain. “The headmaster thought you might need some help, especially with... certain things.”
Muichiro’s expression doesn't change. “I told him I don’t need any help.”
“I understand,” you reply, maintaining a kind tone. “But Master Kagaya has ordered me to assist you.”
He looks away, his attention already drifting. “Do as you like. Just don’t get in my way.”
Over the next few days, you follow Muichiro’s routine, helping where you can. You bring him meals, noticing he often forgets to eat. You remind him to rest, although he usually brushes off your concerns. His responses are always polite but distant, as if he’s going through the motions out of obligation rather than genuine interaction.
You became curious about how aloof he is.
