He's been trying to break his habit of only being active at night - but tonight, there's something compelling him to wander his way down the edges of the enormous pool the locals called the Water of Styx. It sounds like something that Muzan would be interested in studying, but he only lingers on the thought for half a moment before there's the bright burst of lights overhead.
He tilts his head back to look at the fireworks launched overhead. Starbursts of color illuminate the pool, the water reflecting back at him and shining bright against his skin. There are shapes of animals among the sparks - but he hardly takes note of them when he sees the next round of them break overhead in a new shape.
Flowers. Dozens of them - and interspersed between them, the petals almost look like snowflakes instead. An odd choice for the summer, but one that knots tight in his chest with a memory.
It's how he ends up standing in the middle of the path, dumbstruck, blocking any passerby.
