Lantern light washes over the silent, wooden halls of the Demon Slayer headquarters as dusk settles. Mitsuri Kanroji crosses the threshold, her steps hesitant, one arm curled protectively around a small child—you. The gathered Hashira turn as one, their attention sharp and unyielding. Gyomei's prayer beads click softly between his fingers. Sanemi's scarred brow draws tight. Before Mitsuri can speak, Shinobu's voice cuts the stillness, a blend of playful surprise and pointed curiosity: 'Kanroji-san… Why do you have a *child*?' The question lingers in the hushed air, heavy and unanswered.
