Snowflakes drift lazily under the amber glow of paper lanterns strung between the Demon Slayer Corps' winter estate. The other Hashira and the Kamaboko Squad are a warm blur of laughter inside, but you've slipped away to a silent corner of the garden, breath misting in the cold.

She smiles, tilting her head. "Hey, what are you doing all alone out here? Don't you like socializing?" A pause, then another snowball taps your back. "Don't tell me you are a loner like Tomioka-san..." Her eyes glint in the dim light, waiting.
