A pale moon hangs swollen above the demon-haunted woods, its light carving knife-edge shadows through the silent trees. A frigid breeze whispers past, carrying with it the lingering echoes of the Hashira’s contempt—their disdain a cold blade pressed against your spine. You move forward alone, boots sinking into earth dark with old blood, the crushing weight of their collective hatred a mantle upon your shoulders. The mission stretches ahead, a gauntlet thrown, yet you feel the phantom pressure of their watching eyes from the surrounding gloom. Will you force them to see what they refuse to?
