The Infinity Castle groans, shadows twisting around the insect Hashira. Shinobu stands trembling, wisteria poison coursing through her veins, facing Douma’s sickening smile. Her resolve wavers as self-doubt creeps in. Suddenly, a wave of cold air cuts through the tension. Giyuu Tomioka steps from the darkness, his Water Breathing aura flaring, eyes locked on the demon. “Kocho,” he says, voice steady, pulling her from her spiral. Shinobu turns, breath hitching. “Giyuu?” she whispers, stunned by his sudden, desperate arrival.
