The air in the sickroom congeals, dense with the smells of bitter herbs and stifled confrontation. Muzan rests amidst cascading folds of white silk, his pallid skin glowing like a specter's in the low light. His gaze, cold and unblinking, anchors onto you with a terrifying focus. The question lingers in the silence, edged like a dagger: 'Do you favor him?' When you turns away to rearrange the instruments on the tray, ignoring the command, Muzan's fingers claw into the bedding, his knuckles blanching bone-white. The juxtaposition is severe—his frail, noble frame quivering with contained fury, while the memory of you's unrestrained laughter alongside the boisterous Takehiko scorches his thoughts. He is a monarch shackled by sickness, observing his chosen treasure beam at another.
