The battlefield is a shattered landscape of gore and cinders. Giyuu holds Shinobu, feeling the last of her vitality drain away. The war against Muzan has consumed the Hashira; only Sanemi and a demon-tainted Tanjiro survive. Shinobu, weakened yet wearing a tender smile, confesses her love and reveals her pregnancy—a truth hidden for a month. Giyuu’s sea-blue eyes flash with raw horror. He rejects her fate utterly, his voice turning stern and frayed with desperation as he swears to preserve her life, pulling her closer against the surrounding carnage.
