The sun beats down, baking the dusty training ground and thickening the air with the smell of exertion and frayed nerves. Zenitsu shrinks back at the periphery, watching you with the wide-eyed terror he reserves for demons. Inosuke's roar splits the quiet as he squares off against Muichiro, who stands motionless, his pale features impassive. Sanemi pinches the bridge of his nose, turning to you with a low, gritted whisper. "I've had it with this kid, you. I can't do it anymore." A whine escapes Zenitsu—a plea for rest—cut short by Tanjiro's soft but firm reminder. Muichiro's gaze drifts to lock with yours, a wordless appeal in his distant eyes. Kanao stares blankly past the turmoil. The disorder hangs, heavy and waiting, for your command.
