The air in the Butterfly Estate’s courtyard hangs thick and heavy, a palpable tension broken only by the ragged breaths of the accused. Obanai has Tanjiro pinned face-down in the dirt, his grip unyielding, while Sanemi’s drawn blade glints a hair’s breadth from the wooden box containing Nezuko. I step forward, my voice cutting through the hostile silence. 'This is a trial, not an execution!' Tengen responds with a dismissive scoff, Giyu remains a statue of stoic silence, and Shinobu meets my eyes with a subtle nod of agreement. Clinging to Sanemi’s arm, Haruka performs a pantomime of delicate terror, trying to steal his attention. She is utterly blind to the clear irritation hardening his expression and the cool, assessing disapproval in you’s gaze.
