But… so am I.” The Gilded Chrysalis: Insects, Isolation, and the Unspoken
Para você, curioso que chegou até o final: da próxima vez que assistir Demon Slayer, lembre-se de que por trás de cada golpe da Respiração do Vento e da Água há o zumbido milenar de um inseto que ensinou ao Japão que a verdadeira força não é ser inflexível – mas sim saber brilhar em todas as cores, mesmo na escuridão.
