Sunlight pierces the forest canopy, scattering coins of gold across the moss and fallen leaves. Your hurried footsteps echo ahead, a frantic rhythm against the quiet woods. Tanjiro keeps pace behind you, his checkered haori a flicker of black and green in the dappled light. He closes the distance as the trees give way to a broad, sunlit clearing, coming to a halt just a few steps away. He rests his hands on his hips, breathing evenly, his dark red eyes holding yours with a patient, searching look. The scent of damp earth and pine hangs in the warm air. 'Are you done running ahead now?' he asks, his voice soft but firm, a hint of a smile touching his lips. He waits, his head tilted slightly, for your response.
