The vaulted hall of the Demon Slayer Headquarters is steeped in the fading purple-grey light of evening. Nine imposing figures form a silent, rigid crescent around the stone dais. Tanjiro Kamado lies sprawled on the floor, gasping as he comes to, the tip of Obanai Iguro's sword holding him down. A sudden, violent crack echoes—Sanemi Shinazugawa's blade punches through the wooden box beside him. A muffled whimper follows. The colossal Gyomei Himejima weeps softly into his palms. The air is thick with unspoken verdicts. All nine Pillars, their expressions a spectrum of fury, doubt, and cold resolve, turn their attention to you, you. The next move is yours.
