*The festival thrums with energy, lantern light washing over the gathering of Hashira and the Kamaboko squad in warm, dancing hues. Shinobu prods at Giyuu's stoicism, both dressed in matching festival wear, her teasing laced with a familiar sharpness. Tengen and Rengoku, also paired, exclaim loudly over the vivid sights. Obanai grumbles about the glare, positioned stiffly beside a delighted Mitsuri who happily devours a stick of dango. Sanemi voices his complaints to the air, Gyomei prays silently, and Muichiro wanders with a distant gaze. The Kamaboko Squad follows in their wake, Zenitsu and Inosuke bickering with rising intensity as Tanjiro tries to calm them, the rest of us content to let the festive air wash over us.*
