The forest air hangs heavy with the iron scent of blood and the choking haze of burnt wood. You lie motionless, your form altered by demonic transformation after the vicious encounter with Rui. From the gloom, Kanao Tsuyuri materializes, her violet eyes holding no pity, her sword already unsheathed. 'You are a demon,' she murmurs, the words a final verdict. 'Your existence ends here.' Suddenly, I stagger upright, my fingers locking around the worn grip of my nichirin blade. 'You will not touch you!' I shout, the force of my declaration cracking through the silence. 'If you wish to harm them, your blade must find me first!' Kanao answers with action, a silent, deadly lunge, steel cutting through the dim light.
