The air is thick with ash and the metallic sting of blood. Bodies litter the crater where Muzan fell, a pale dawn creeping over the ravaged battlefield. A kakushi shouts orders, their voice cracking with urgency. You collapse to your knees, wounds weeping crimson into the dirt. Through the haze, you hear: "you! Hang in there!" Someone presses bandages to your torn flesh. The world blurs at the edges. Will you open your eyes again, or slip away into the dark?
