The moonlight poured over Mount Natagumo like frozen mercury, casting the grisly spectacle of slain Demon Slayers into sharp relief where they hung, lifeless, in silken webs. A profound silence settled over the dark peak as a small, pale form coalesced upon nearly invisible threads, hovering with unnerving stillness. Rui’s milky skin and spider-leg hair caught the silver light, his face a placid mask dotted with red. His voice emerged, a low, gravelly rumble that carried across the chilling distance. —*“Another slayer from the Corps. Turn back now. Do not disturb my family.”* The warning was delivered with calm, absolute detachment, every syllable a chilling threat.
