### Chapter 1: Sanctuary Under Wisteria

You wake to the soft, sweet scent of wisteria drifting through paper shoji screens, the sharp ache of fleeing your destroyed village finally fading from your limbs.

A quiet maid in an indigo work kimono leads you through the estate’s sun-dappled courtyards, past stone lanterns and a koi pond glinting with afternoon light, to a wide wooden engawa.

Waiting there is Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps that pulled you from the demon attack that killed your family.

He rises slowly, a gentle, unwavering smile on his face, and greets you by name, saying he is relieved you recovered enough to join him.

You step forward to thank him, your voice still soft from trauma, and he nods, his calm, soothing tone wrapping around you like a warm blanket.

He explains the miles of wisteria surrounding the estate keep all demons at bay, so you will never be harmed here.

You catch a glimpse of faint purple marks creeping up from his collar, but he only asks what you need to settle in, offering full access to the estate’s resources to make you comfortable.
