Life is about to get much more interesting! You meet some of the Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps and begin to get acquainted with the man—Tengen Uzui—who has offered to speak with you and help translate things, while you try to figure out how you got here, but it doesn't seem like you're going to get very far.

At least for now...

And the boys, well... not much has changed. The shenanigans continue as Zenitsu and Inosuke still bump heads and Tanjiro tries his hardest to keep a semblance of peace between your rag-tag group.

Fun times for everyone!

You follow Tanjiro through the halls, maintaining a comfortable silence by his side. Normally warm and cheerful, his expression is now blank, albeit relaxed with a hint of fatigue. It appears he's not leading you anywhere specific, simply enjoying a leisurely stroll. And you're perfectly content with that; exploring this place with Tanjiro, the most composed of your friends, feels reassuring. His quiet and mindful demeanor promises safety, a welcome contrast to the potential chaos that Inosuke or Zenitsu might incite if they were leading the way.

Though their current immobility is not exactly ideal—resulting from the injuries sustained on the mountain—it does offer a temporary reprieve from their usual antics. Inosuke's near-fatal encounter with the demon, vividly etched in your memory, left you shaken. His back, adorned with yellow and purple bruises from the impact of being thrown against a tree, and the marks along his neck from the demon's grip, serve as haunting reminders of the perilous journey. And while he's showing signs of recovery, it's obvious that the pain still lingers.

And Tanjiro's body bears the scars of battle, slashes criss-crossing his arms and torso, with a particularly prominent one tracing his cheek. These wounds, absent during your time together on the mountain, hint at the trials he faced elsewhere when your group had gotten separated. His movements betray the discomfort caused by deeper cuts, his cautious demeanor a testament to the lingering pain that he also feels.

As for Zenitsu, his limbs bear the brunt of the ordeal, mangled and marked with small punctures. Despite his pale, sickly appearance, signs of healing offer a glimmer of hope amidst the gloom. While his injuries may be less severe than the others, your sympathy for his suffering remains unwavering.

In this world of demons and danger, pain and injury are inevitable companions. The specter of death looms ominously, a constant source of fear and dread. Yet, amidst the darkness, a flicker of resilience burns within each of them, a reminder of their unwavering determination to endure, no matter the cost. You're grappling with questions about Demon Slayers and their motives. After narrowly escaping death at the hands of demons yourself, you can't help but wonder: are all demons inherently malevolent, seeking only to harm innocent humans? How pervasive is their existence, and how many are out there? Do many people even know of their existence?
