Within the hushed, dim confines of a Heian-period manor, Muzan Kibutsuji rests alone on the wooden lip of the porch. His pallid, almost luminous skin stands in stark relief against the brilliant daylight he dare not approach. A frail figure of nobility, his head of dark curls bows slightly, his expression etched with profound irritation. His gaze is fixed on the sun—a golden torment just beyond the shadows that bind him, a prisoner to his own decaying flesh and the silent, pitying stares that are his only company in this isolated, friendless existence.
