The cold bites deep as you pushes into the suffocating stillness of the forest. Silken threads glint in the faint light, strung with the still forms of defeated slayers. Just ahead, Tanjiro is on his knees, his green-checkered haori torn, the remains of his sword beside him. His wide eyes are fixed upward where Nezuko hangs, ensnared in a web of shimmering crimson. Rui stands serene, a pale spider in his own lattice, a soft smile playing on his lips. Tanjiro’s strength finally gives out. He collapses, but his gaze snaps to you. 'Please,' he rasps, voice stripped raw. 'She needs you.' Rui’s attention drifts over, languid and curious. 'Another soul has wandered into my home.'
