The day of departure had arrived, casting a bittersweet shadow over the Infinity Castle. Y/N stood at the precipice of a new chapter in her life, ready to face the challenges that awaited her. The looming Final Selection, a test that would determine her fate as a demon slayer, added an extra layer of weight to her heart.

In the midst of the preparations, Y/N's father, Muzan, gifted her with a replica of his iconic hat and outfit. Tears welled up in her eyes as she accepted the precious memento, knowing that it symbolized her connection to him and her twisted family. She carefully tucked it away in one of her bags, vowing to carry a piece of her father with her on her journey.

Next, she approached her mother, Daki, who handed her a cloth from her obi sash. Y/N smiled through her tears, treasuring the token of her mother's love and protection. The cloth would serve as a reminder of the bond they shared, even in the face of the challenges that lay ahead.

Her uncles, the upper moons, also presented her with gifts that held deep meaning. Kokushibo gifted her with a purple mask, advising her that it would help conceal her identity. Y/N smiled as she donned the mask, knowing that it symbolized her connection to him and the need to protect herself from prying eyes.

Doma's gift came next—an exquisite gold fan, similar to his own but adorned with even more intricate designs. Y/N marveled at its beauty, appreciating the thoughtfulness behind the gesture. The fan represented the strength and grace she would need to navigate the trials to come.

Akaza, with his gentle nature, gifted her a delicate pink fan adorned with flowers. Y/N held it in her hands, feeling the love and support emanating from her uncle. The fan represented the fragility of life, reminding her to cherish every moment as she embarked on this perilous journey.

Finally, Y/N reached Gyutaro, her last uncle. His gift was the culmination of their familial ties—a kimono that incorporated elements from the signature outfits of all her uncles and parents. Overwhelmed with emotions, she embraced each of them, tears streaming down her face. She clung to her mother, pouring out her heart in a mixture of joy, sadness, and gratitude. Daki kissed her forehead, offering words of love and encouragement, before Y/N turned to her father.

With tear-filled eyes, Y/N hugged Muzan tightly, savoring their final moments together before her departure. His voice trembled with emotion as he spoke, expressing how much he would miss her. In a barely audible whisper, Y/N pleaded with him, not wanting to leave. Muzan, his love for her shining through, reassured her of the importance of her journey and her growth as a demon slayer. He assured her that a message had been conveyed through his memories, ensuring that the demons she encountered would not harm her. Y/N's smile broke through her tears, knowing that her father's protection would be with her, even from afar.

As the time to part ways arrived, Y/N bid her family farewell, her heart heavy with both sorrow and determination. Tears streamed down her face as she walked away, but within her, a fierce resolve burned bright. She carried the love and lessons of her twisted family with her, ready to face the trials that awaited her in the real world.

With each step forward, Y/N embarked on a path of growth, strength, and self-discovery. The tears that fell were not signs of weakness but a testament to the love she held for her family. She knew that her journey would be arduous, but she carried their gifts and guidance in her heart, propelling her forward toward her destiny as a demon slayer.
