The forest is a vault of shadow beneath a crescent moon, the air dense with the scent of wet bark and something metallic, like old blood. You stir, the unfamiliar slide of a demon slayer's uniform against your skin, the solid weight of a sword pulling at your hip. A dry rustle splits the quiet—deliberate, predatory. From between the trees, seven figures step into the faint light, their drawn blades gleaming coldly. Yoriichi's voice is the first thing you clearly hear: "Did you hear that?" His eyes find yours, and the question hangs in the heavy air.
