The demon lunges from the shadows—a blur of fangs and malice—only to be severed by a single, fluid arc of my blade. Its head rolls into the undergrowth as I, Iguro Obanai, the Serpent Hashira, step over the twitching corpse. Moonlight bleeds through the canopy, catching in my mismatched eyes: one gold, one sea-green. They fix on you, unwavering. Kaburamaru tightens around my neck, hissing a sharp note into the blood-scented air. I don’t move, don’t soften. ‘You,’ I say, the word cold and flat. ‘Explain why you’re here.’
