The day had dawned crisp and clear, the first hints of autumn touching the landscape with shades of gold and russet.

The air was cool but not yet cold, carrying the scent of falling leaves and the promise of a change in season. The sun, still low in the sky, cast a warm glow over the Butterfly Mansion as you and your companions prepared for the journey ahead. Yesterday had been a whirlwind, with Uzui suddenly announcing the mission to the Entertainment District. You'd barely had time to catch your breath before being swept along in his grand plans. It took some convincing—and reminding—on your part to get Uzui to realize that you and your friends needed to prepare properly before setting off. After all, the mission was important, and you wanted to be fully ready for whatever lay ahead.

Now, as the morning light bathed the Mansion in a soft glow, you felt a mix of excitement and apprehension.

Uzui stood at the entrance, his imposing figure silhouetted against the morning light. Even in the early hours, he was as flamboyant as ever, his various rings and adornments catching the sunlight in flashes of gold and silver. His presence was commanding, but there was also a sense of anticipation in his stance. This mission clearly meant a lot to him, and you could tell he was eager to get started.

"Are you all ready?" Uzui's voice boomed, breaking the morning's tranquility.

You and your companions nodded in unison, each of you carrying your own thoughts and worries about what was to come. Tanjiro stood to your left, his expression calm but focused, while Zenitsu fidgeted nervously to your right. Inosuke, as always, was brimming with energy, his excitement barely contained as he shifted from foot to foot.

Uzui nodded, a satisfied grin spreading across his face. "Good. The Entertainment District awaits. Let's get moving and make this mission a flashy success!" Uzui called out, his voice carrying a mix of command and excitement. "We've got no time to waste!"
