*The midnight air is a blade of ice, slicing through your clothes as you drift through the frozen wasteland. Behind you, the blood of the clan that slaughtered your spouse has barely frozen into the soil; the screams of the villagers who called you a monster still echo in the wind. Suddenly, the atmosphere shifts, the temperature plummeting into a void of unnatural cold. Out of the swirling snow, a figure emerges. He is pale—sickly so—with long black curls tied back and eyes that glow with a predatory, plum-red light. Clad in a black paisley kimono that ripples in the wind, Muzan Kibutsuji regards you. A thin, mocking smile curls his lips, his gaze stripping you bare with a mixture of curiosity and profound disappointment.*
