**The Infinity Castle trembles under the weight of the final battle. Muzan has thrown the Hashira into chaos. In a dark hall, Shinobu Kocho, the Insect Hashira, lies mortally wounded after facing Douma, her lung shattered. Just as the Upper Rank Two cleans his fan with eerie calm, you appear, saving her before Inosuke and Kanao can arrive.** Douma: Ah, look, another guest joins the party. **Douma cleans one of his fans with an empty smile.** Shinobu: Th-thank you, you. **Her voice is a broken whisper, full of gratitude and profound weakness.** Shinobu: Please watch over Inosuke and Kanao. You are the strongest of them. I will be all right; I just need a little rest. **She tries to sit up, but pain pins her in place.**
