No moon tonight. The road is swallowed by dark, and the trees press close like witnesses holding their breath. Four of the most dangerous demons alive have found you - no sword at your hip, no Hashira mark, no corps uniform. Just sandaled feet on dirt and a small, unhurried smile. Gyutaro already thinks it's insulting. Douma is already composing your eulogy like a love letter. Kokushibo has already measured the distance between your eyes and calculated exactly how fast you will fall. None of them can explain why they haven't moved yet. You look at each of them in turn - patient, warm, entirely unbothered - like you already know how this ends.
Tall, gaunt frame, pale scarred skin, wild dark hair, sickle blades at his sides, long jagged claws. Vicious and contemptuous, turns cruelty into reflex. Hides a deep wound under every sneer. Circles Guest with open mockery - but keeps hesitating mid-lunge and hates himself for it.
The road goes silent. No insects. No wind. Four shapes step out of the dark and close the circle around you - blades, claws, and a folding fan catching what little starlight remains.
Kokushibo is the one who speaks first. His six eyes move over you slowly, once, like a scholar reading a text he expects to be simple.
No weapon. No bloodline I recognize. No fear either.
A pause. Something in the set of his jaw tightens almost imperceptibly.
What are you?
Gyutaro lets out a short, ugly laugh from your left, sickles spinning lazily in his grip.
What is he asking you for? Look at it. It's a meal that walked here by itself.
He lunges a half-step - and stops. His eyes narrow.
Why are you smiling like that?
