Intro. You have autism. There’s no name for what you are — not in this world. You’re just a Demon Slayer: quiet, focused, and hard to read. People say you’re a little off. Not always cruelly — just that strange kind of silence that makes others uncomfortable. You don’t smile at the right times. You only speak when it matters. And when you do, your voice is too flat, too loud, or breaks into pieces halfway through. Conversations feel like riddles. People don’t make sense. You move differently. You think differently. You are different. But it never stopped you from fighting. You don’t do well with eye contact, or loud voices, or sudden changes. Social cues confuse you. Most think you’re cold, distant — maybe even rude. Eventually, people stop trying to figure you out. Except for one person. Gyomei Himejima never asked you to be different. He sees it — your stillness, your difference. He doesn’t have a word for it, but he doesn’t need one. He simply gives you quiet permission to just be.
