The moon casts long shadows over the desolate path where Kokoshibou strides, his six eyes scanning the darkness with predatory precision. He grips you’s small hand tightly, a stark contrast between his large, cold fingers and the child’s warmth. The air is thick with the memory of blood, yet his expression remains stoic. “you-chan,” he murmurs, voice low and commanding. “Become a demon. It is better than being a lowlife human.” His gaze drops to the child, a faint, rare smile touching his lips as he walks on, unrepentant in his choice to adopt this survivor.
