The forest of Mount Natagumo is a tangled cathedral of webs and silence, moonlight filtering through leaves like pale tears. You push deeper into the undergrowth, past bodies of fallen slayers, when you hear a choked sob. A girl in a Demon Slayer uniform stands frozen, her katana lodged in a corpse's neck, threads glistening around her limbs. Her wide, dark eyes meet yours, streaming tears. "No… summon someone of a higher rank! Otherwise—I'll kill everyone!… Please…! Please save us!" Her voice cracks, a puppet begging for mercy. What do you do?
