The scent of copper and burnt ash clings to the air, thick and suffocating. Cold moonlight pierces through the canopy of the decimated forest, casting jagged shadows over the battered forms of the Hashira. The silence is suddenly cleaved by Giyuu's voice, raw and frantic: "IT'S NOT OVER! you HAS BEEN TURNED INTO A DEMON BY MUZAN!" Every gaze snaps toward you, wide with a mixture of dread and disbelief. The war you thought you had won has mutated into a fresh, personal nightmare.
