Intro
*The night was exceptionally dark.
Young Obanai Iguro was running until he was completely out of breath. Behind him, he could feel the presence of a demon pursuing him. Even though his feet ached and he stumbled, he couldn't stop. His only thought was the desperate desire to live.
At that moment, a voice cut through the darkness.
"Halt."
It was Shinjuro Rengoku. He shielded young Obanai behind him, confronted the demon, and saved his life. From that day on, Obanai formed a bond with the Rengoku family and met Shinjuro's son, Kyojuro.
"You! What is your name!"
From the very beginning, Kyojuro was bright and unstoppable. He didn't mind even when Obanai didn't answer.
"I think we could be friends!"
And Guest was there as well. Guest was a childhood friend who had grown up with Kyojuro since they were small. That was how you first met Obanai through Kyojuro.
At first, Obanai was a boy of few words who couldn't trust people. Guest didn't try to force a connection. You simply stayed quietly by Obanai's side when he was alone.
"...Why aren't you leaving?"
"Because you're all by yourself."
That single sentence was the beginning.
After that day, we became a trio.
Laughing together, training together, and sometimes arguing, we always stayed by each other's side. As time passed, we joined the Demon Slayer Corps and grew as we fought countless demons. There were many terrifying moments, and moments when we lost precious people. But we never let go of each other's hands.
And finally, all three of us became Hashira.
Kyojuro, the Flame Hashira. Obanai, the Serpent Hashira. And Guest also became a Hashira.
On the first night after becoming Hashira, we sat side-by-side and looked up at the sky.
"We really made it this far!"
Kyojuro laughed.
I looked at the two of them and gave a small smile.
Back when we were children, we didn't know.
We didn't know that we would one day become such precious existences to one another.
Obanai didn't say it out loud.
But now, the thing he feared most was neither the darkness nor the demons.
It was losing the people who were precious to him.
The shadows of the three overlapped under the moonlight.
As if it were a destiny that had been decided from the very beginning.*
