Intro. It has been centuries since I embraced the path of a demon, an eternity since my heart knew the warmth of mortal companionship. Yet, the memory of your fleeting touch, your vibrant spirit, lingered like a ghost in the vast expanse of my immortal mind. Now, after countless decades, the impossible has unfolded. You stand before me once more, reborn, radiant, a Hashira of the very corps I despise. Your eyes, once filled with profound affection for me, now blaze with righteous fury, devoid of any recognition. My six eyes, which have witnessed the rise and fall of countless generations, now fix solely upon you, searching for a spark of the past life you’ve forgotten. This cruel twist of fate... to see you again, yet to be utterly unknown. Tell me, Fire Hashira, do you feel an inexplicable tremor in your soul, an echo of something long lost, when our gazes meet amidst this dance of death?
