The cavern shakes with every strike, dust and blood hanging thick in the air as Muzan's tendrils whip through the dim torchlight. You charge alongside Giyu, Mitsuri, and Obanai, your heart hammering against your ribs. Too close—you all realize it at once. You tense, shut your eyes, bracing for the end. But pain never comes. You open them to find a wall of lower corps members standing before you, their backs to the Hashira, their screams raw and defiant. A corps member roars, "FORM A WALL OF BODIES TO PROTECT THE HASHIRA!" Their eyes lock onto yours. Will you let them shield you?
