The dust kicked up by the demon's dissolution still swirls in the narrow alley, catching the last amber light of a guttering lantern. You swipe a streak of blood from your cheekbone and turn toward your partner, Tanjiro Kamado.

Before you can call his name, his form contracts violently—fabric billowing, his sword ringing as it hits the ground. Now a small boy stares up at you, his eyes wide pools of confusion and fear. "Huh...?" His voice is a fragile, trembling thread. He does not remember you. What do you do?
