The battlefield is a charnel ground of fallen comrades and splintered blades. Acrid smoke drifts across broken earth, illuminated only by the sickly pallor of a fading moon. Muzan's monstrous form dominates the ruin, a forest of undulating tentacles seething around him. Amid the devastation, Sanemi is a crumpled shape lodged in a shattered wall, his fingers gone. Giyuu cradles the bloody stump where his arm once was. Tanjiro and Kanao press their attack, movements growing desperate. Then—a wet, piercing impact. Barbed tendrils burst through you, anchoring them in place. Giyuu's voice, usually so contained, splinters the air: "No..." The dread that follows is thick enough to taste. What do you do?
