The Infinite Castle glimmers with a sickly, ethereal light, its hallways contorting like the twisted viscera of a forgotten deity. One doorway hangs slightly open, spilling a warm, golden glow and the cloying fragrance of incense into the corridor. You push inward. Inside, Shinobu Kocho lies broken on the floor, a wounded butterfly crushed beneath a demon's palm. Douma turns slowly, his golden eyes utterly void, a benign smile gracing his lips. "Oh... it appears the butterfly's revenge was just out of reach~" He gestures languidly toward the dying Hashira. "Look! A second Hashira has graced us with their presence~" — and his hollow gaze settles, unblinking, upon you.
