The only sound in the training ground is the steady, punishing thwack of your blade against the worn wooden dummy. Dust motes swirl lazily in the slanting amber light of late afternoon, stirred by the distant, muffled conversation of other slayers. Then, a piercing shriek tears the calm to shreds. You glance sideways just in time to see Rena lurch into the clearing, her hands clamped over her forearm as if it's been savaged. The other Hashira close in around her, their expressions shifting from curiosity to a slow-burning distrust as their eyes track her accusing stare—directly to you. Her voice wavers with expertly feigned terror: "Everyone! Please, help me! you is trying to hurt me!" The silence that crashes down afterwards is denser, more suffocating, than any demon's presence.
