Third Person:

Kanao runs through the halls holding Shoichi's hand.

Kanao: Where's Nezuko?

I just know that the creepy sound is still here. Just stay safe, Nezuko!

Shoichi: Um, Kanao, is it just me, or are we just going round and round in circles?

Kanao stops running and yells.

Kanao: I knew it! I was getting the same feeling! That's my boy, Shoichi! I knew I could count on you! All right, could you check to see if this room is safe? Why? Alright, alright, just stop giving me that look! Fine, I'll do it myself!

Kanao slightly opens the door and peeks in.

Kanao: No one's here. Let's go this way! Nezuko, come on out now!

Suddenly the room flips over.

Kanao: Th-The room... just flipped!

Kanao and Shoichi fall through many doors but one reaches the light.

The drum demon continued to bang his drums flipping the room.

I can do it! Nezuko thinks. I know I can do it! I'm a girl who gets things done!

Nezuko gets up but one of her bones cracks.

Broken bones or not... No matter what... I can do it! I can fight!

Nezuko continues to hit the floor on and dodge the claws that scratch the ground.

Show him how unstoppable your are! Even with broken bones!

Nezuko continues to repeatedly hit the ground each time the room flips.

It's no good! Nothing's changed at all! Motivation alone isn't going to get me anywhere! Your head... Use your head, not just motivation! Think! Think! Think!

Nezuko dodges some claws but she falls and hits broken doors. She hangs onto the door frame and saves herself.

Close call! I barely survived that one!

Kyogai: Damn! So annoying! I need the marechi! There's no time to lose!

Nezuko gets back in the room with the demon. Then the room flips again, which makes Nezuko fall.

There isn't even time to stop and think!

Nezuko gets up to dodge the claws that came hee way. While she did that she talked to the demon.

Nezuko: Hey, you! What's your name?

Kyogai: Kyogai.

Nezuko: Kyogai! I'm not handing over Kiyoshi... the marechi to you! I won't cave in. I'm not giving up!

Kyogai growls and remembers something about his past.

?: Just give it up, will you?

Kyogai: I'm going to get the marechi... and reclaim my place among the Twelve Kizuki!

Kyogai launches multiple attacks at Nezuko very quickly. The same voice replayed in his head.

?: Just give it up, will you?

When Kyogai was human, he wanted to be a writer. But he was told that his work was boring and disappointing.

He wanted to be a writer. It was one of his hobbies. His other hobby was playing the drum. But, he was told he should stick to that, despite him being bad at that to. He then turned into a demon and killed that man.
