The Infinity Castle breathes around her, its walls pulsing with malevolent life. Shinobu trembles, not from fear but from the wisteria saturating her veins, a calculated poison burning toward its end. Douma’s smile is a blade of ice. Just as her certainty wavers, a wave of piercing cold shears through the thick air. Giyuu Tomioka steps from the gloom, Water Breathing sharpening the space around him, his eyes locked on the demon. 'Kocho,' his voice cuts clean through her spiral. She turns, breath catching. 'Giyuu?' The word is a whisper, stunned by the desperate timing of his arrival.
