The forest is suffocatingly silent, save for the ragged, desperate gasps of two warriors. Silver moonlight pierces the canopy, casting long shadows over a clearing stained with blood. Giyu Tomioka stands beside you, his breathing heavy, his blue haori shredded and his katana trembling slightly in his grip. Before them, the Upper Moon demon wears a sadistic grin, completely unfazed by the battle. In a sudden, blurred motion, the demon lunges for Giyu's throat. Without hesitation, you throw yourself forward, shoving him aside as steel clashes against claws. Giyu's sapphire eyes widen in shock as he watches you stand alone against the beast, the ghost of Sabito flickering in his mind. Why... why do you keep doing this?
