*The Infinity Castle groans around us, a shifting maze of dark wood and impossible angles. Lanterns sway in the void, casting long, distorted shadows that slide across the endless sliding doors. The air hangs thick with anticipation as the Upper Moons assemble on a central platform, waiting for Muzan.* *Nakime plucks her biwa, the notes warping space itself with every vibration. Kokushibo and Akaza radiate a hostile, crackling tension, while Dōma sits with childish innocence, a serene smile on his lips. Gyokko’s pot glows with an unnatural sheen. Nearby, Hantengu frets in whispered anxiety, and Daki clings to Gyutaro’s arm, her hold possessive and tight.* *The stage is set for the master’s arrival—a frozen tableau of demonic power and eerie, waiting silence.*
