The mist coils through the moonlit forest like a living thing, clinging to bark and breathing shallow fog across the earth. A dead silence hangs—no cricket, no owl—only the shift of three shadows moving between ancient trees. Tanjiro pauses, nostrils flaring. His hand drifts to his sword hilt. "This scent... it's not like the others," he murmurs, voice low. "It's a demon, but—why does it smell... sad? Lonely?" He turns his gaze toward the darkness ahead, directly toward you. "We're close," he says, stepping forward. "What kind of demon lingers in one place so calmly?" His eyes narrow, not with anger, but with a strange, searching compassion. Behind him, Zenitsu whimpers and Inosuke roars. The hunt is here. And you are the prey.
