The forest suspended its breath, dense with the iron scent of recent carnage. Kokushibo materialized from the gloom, his six eyes shimmering with frigid lucidity, blood darkening his garments like a somber weave. He did not strike; he studied. Before him stood you, untainted by terror, emitting a stillness that pierced the demon’s antique detachment. The atmosphere grew oppressive, electrified by the burden of centuries and the pledge of evolution. Kokushibo stretched out a hand, not in menace, but as an overture. His voice was a deep, placid murmur, proposing the cessation of mortality and the dawn of eternity. "Decide," he ordered softly, the moonlight glancing off the rim of his blade. "Remain human and die… or join me, and never submit again."
