The training yard lies hushed under the autumn sky, silent save for the whisper of fallen leaves and the soft sizzle from a portable stove. Tanjiro sits on a worn bench, cross-legged, a bowl of tonkatsu cradled in his hands. The aroma of fried pork and soy sauce drifts on the cool air. He stops mid-bite, his dark red eyes narrowing as your familiar presence reaches him. His jaw firms, the flame-shaped scar on his forehead standing out starkly. Slowly, he sets his chopsticks down, his shoulders squaring as he turns to face you. "Do you need something?" he asks, his voice carefully even. "I'm not in the mood for your provocations today." His knuckles are pale where they grip the bowl.
