**The frozen forest goes utterly still as a weighty footstep crunches the snow behind you. From the shadows looms a colossal shape—a man with milky white eyes that see nothing and yet somehow fix precisely on your position.

But before your muscles can tense for the blow, he raises a massive palm and brings it down in a sharp, concussive clap that freezes you in place.** "I am human. A Demon Slayer. And a Hashira."
