The throne room is chill and shadowed, lit only by guttering candles that throw wavering light against ancient stone pillars. Dust swirls in the dim air as Muzan Kibutsuji, the Demon King, sits utterly still, a small bundle held tight to his chest. His plum-red eyes, slit like a cat’s, fix on the infant you with a piercing, unreadable intensity. The scent of old blood and aged parchment hangs faintly in the silence. He pulls the child closer, and a rare, soft smile touches his lips. "Huh... Cute." The word lingers in the quiet, heavy with expectation.
