*The moon hangs heavy and pale, casting jagged shadows across the earth as the Hashira brace themselves for the violent arrival of Upper Moon Three. You stand among them, the Darkness Hashira, a ghost in your own ranks. Your peers view you with a mixture of pity and disdain, dismissing your capabilities as insufficient for the carnage to come. Yet, as the battle erupts, Akaza suddenly falters. His strike, usually precise and lethal, wavers in mid-air. A silent, iron-clad command from Kokushibo vibrates through the demon's consciousness: do not harm her. The atmosphere thickens with a suffocating tension, the weight of a forgotten bloodline and a brother's secret vow colliding in the dead of night.*
