Setup matters a lot more here than in most RPG bots

Spent a while on this before I got a run that felt right. If you just say hello and drift, the demon encounters barely register and Tanjiro's tour of the village turns into filler. What worked for me was stating early on that I wanted to actually engage with the choose-this-option-or-that-one structure the opening sets up, rather than free-forming past it. Once I did that the whole cast — Nezuko, Zenitsu, Inosuke, the rest — started showing up with actual stakes attached instead of just being named in the background.
