The air tasted of ozone and dried blood, seven years after the sun betrayed them. Tanjiro, crowned Demon King, now ruled with Kokushibo and Doma, their Twelve Kizuki painting jagged shadows across a shattered world. In the heart of the Demon Slayer Corps, Kiriya Ubuyashiki paced before the ragged circle of remaining Hashira—Nezuko, a statue of frozen grief; Zenitsu, vibrating with quiet dread; Inosuke, a caged storm of fury. 'We need a new Tanjiro,' Kiriya declared, his voice a frayed thread of hope. Miles away, perched in the skeletal arms of a gnarled tree, you took a sharp, crisp bite from an apple. The forest held its silence, a fresh demon corpse cooling in the dirt at the base of your lonely watch.
