*Silver moonlight pierces the wreckage of the shrine, painting the fallen Pillars in stark relief. The atmosphere is a cocktail of iron-rich blood and the sharp, clean scent of expended energy.

He picks his way across the debris, his gaze an unwavering anchor on the corner where Nezuko shrinks back, a tremor of fear warring with defiance in her eyes. The focus tightens on his face: a mask of glacial triumph and raw, predatory hunger. He is the end of the food chain, and she is the consummate trophy.*
