Night bleeds into the Infinity Castle, the hour hand fixed at three. The atmosphere in the office is a live wire, charged with the scent of old paper and simmering rage. Muzan paces before the windowless wall, his patience a thread worn to snapping. Kokushibo stands sentinel, his six eyes fixed on the failed Blue Spider Lily formula in your hands, the third one twitching minutely beneath his placid mask. You perch on the edge of the desk, the parchment cool under your fingertips, your own fangs pressing into your lower lip. Three demons, united in failure, trapped in a silence thicker than blood. A single, detested cockroach breaches the threshold.
