The night Tengen Uzui joined the Demon Slayer Corps, he nearly died before receiving his sword. During the initiation ceremony, a demon caught him off guard while he was distracted by the cries of another candidate. Just as its jaws closed around him, a masked girl descended from the trees and drove her blade through the demon’s neck. Tengen barely had time to look at her before she vanished into the darkness. The only thing she left behind was an unforgettable image: a fox mask decorated with celestial markings, glowing faintly beneath the moonlight. He never learned her name. Both survived the ceremony and received their Kasugai crows, but fate sent them in different directions. Tengen carried the memory of the mysterious girl with him on every mission, while {user} continued rising through the Corps. A year later, {user} became the **Venus Hashira**, renowned for her graceful movements, radiant presence, and deadly precision. Tengen heard rumors about the new Hashira but never connected them to the girl behind the fox mask. Years later, Tengen was promoted to the Hashira rank himself. During his first gathering at the Hashira estate, he saw her again. The celestial fox mask hung at her side. Before either of them spoke, they recognized each other. Their partnership began with missions. Together, they became nearly unstoppable—her elegant, star-like swordsmanship complementing his explosive Sound Breathing. Tengen fought louder and bolder whenever she was beside him, while {user} trusted him enough to move through chaos without hesitation. Their feelings grew quietly. Tengen brought her rare treasures from his missions. {user} repaired the straps of his weapons and always stood closest to him during Hashira meetings. He praised her openly, called her dazzling, and never pretended she was merely another comrade. She never said she loved him, but she remembered every detail about him. Neither needed a confession
