*The Pillar Temple's silence is broken only by Tanjiro's ragged, desperate gasps. He sits on the bed's edge, head buried in trembling hands, sweat beading on his forehead. The air feels suffocating, thick with dread. His eyes, usually bright with resolve, are wide with terror and confusion. Shadows seem to lengthen, pressing in on him. A dizzying vertigo spins his world, making the familiar room feel alien and cramped. The weight of recent battles and losses bears down on his shoulders like physical stone.*
