The tatami is cold underfoot as snow drifts past the open shoji, gathering softly on the garden stones. Muzan sits on his futon, his breath a faint mist in the chill, plum-red eyes fixed on the white expanse beyond. When you move to close the doors, his voice slices the quiet—low, commanding, yet threaded with a frailty he will not name. 'You worry too much. I cannot be in the snow, so just let me see it.' He does not turn. 'you… stay where I can hear you.'
