Every time the player spawns in the starting position, the weapon is in hand. Only when I press my attack does the weapon disappear.

I’m still new to Godot, so I need help understanding the logic here. Is this an issue with my animation?

My weapon.gd script

extends Node2D

var weapon: Area2D

func _ready():
    if get_children().is_empty(): return
    
    weapon = get_children()[0]
func enable():
    if !weapon: return
    
    visible = true
    weapon.enable()
    
func disable():
    if !weapon: return
    
    visible = false
    weapon.disable

My player.gd script

extends CharacterBody2D

signal healthChanged

@export var speed: int = 35
@onready var animations = $AnimationPlayer
@onready var effects = $Effects
@onready var hurtBox = $hurtBox
@onready var hurtTimer = $hurtTimer
@onready var weapon = $weapon
@onready var death = $death

@export var maxHealth = 3
@onready var currentHealth: int = maxHealth

@export var knockbackPower: int = 500

# Assuming Inventory is another class
@export var inventory: Inventory

var lastAnimDirection: String = "Down"
var isHurt: bool = false
var isAttacking: bool = false

func _ready():
    effects.play("RESET")

func handleInput():
    var moveDirection = Input.get_vector("ui_left", "ui_right", "ui_up", "ui_down")
    velocity = moveDirection * speed
    
    if Input.is_action_pressed("attack"):
        attack()

func attack():
    animations.play("attack" + lastAnimDirection)
    isAttacking = true
    weapon.enable()
    await animations.animation_finished
    weapon.disable()
    isAttacking = false

func updateAnimation():
    if isAttacking: return
    
    if velocity.length() == 0:
        if animations.is_playing():

    else:    
        var direction = "Down"
        if velocity.x < 0: direction = "Left"
        elif velocity.x > 0: direction = "Right"
        elif velocity.y < 0: direction = "Up"
        
        animations.play("walk" + direction)
        lastAnimDirection = direction

func handleCollision():
    for i in get_slide_collision_count():
        var collision = get_slide_collision(i)
        var collider = collision.get_collider()
        print_debug(collider.name)

func _physics_process(delta):
    handleInput()
    move_and_slide()
    handleCollision()
    updateAnimation()
    
    if !isHurt:
        for area in hurtBox.get_overlapping_areas():
            if area.name == "hitBox":
                hurtByEnemy(area)

func hurtByEnemy(area):
    currentHealth -= 1
    if currentHealth <= 0:
        die()  # Call the die function 
        
    healthChanged.emit(currentHealth)
    isHurt = true
    
    knockback(area.get_parent().velocity)
    effects.play("hurtBlink")
    hurtTimer.start()
    await hurtTimer.timeout
    effects.play("RESET")
    isHurt = false

func die():
    # Reset character state upon death
    currentHealth = maxHealth
    # Additional reset logic 
    healthChanged.emit(currentHealth)

    position = Vector2(0, 0)
    velocity = Vector2.ZERO
    
    # Play death animation or effects if desired
    animations.play("death")
    effects.play("deathEffect")
    
func _on_hurt_box_area_entered(area):
    if area.has_method("collect"):
        area.collect(inventory)

func knockback(enemyVelocity: Vector2):
    var knockbackDirection = (enemyVelocity - velocity).normalized() * knockbackPower
    velocity = knockbackDirection
    move_and_slide()

func _on_hurt_box_area_exited(area): pass

I was expecting the player to start with hands empty.
