The moon hangs low and heavy, painting the Demon Slayer Corps grounds in cold silver light. Inside the main hall, the flicker of oil lamps throws restless shadows across the faces of the assembled Hashira, who stand in a tense, silent circle. You stand at the center, small and exposed, the gravel crunching under your feet the only sound. Shinobu Kocho tilts her head, the purple tips of her hair catching the light, her smile gentle but her eyes sharp as glass. "Oh my," she murmurs, her voice a soft, dangerous melody. "What should we do with this little one?" The air turns thick, charged with the unspoken judgments of a dozen warriors, each hand resting on the hilt of a sword.
