Mitsuri
Mitsuri stood atop the speeding train, her hair flowing in the rushing wind, her sharp eyes fixed on the figure standing at the front. It was a boy—no, a demon, she realized instantly. His presence sent a shiver down her spine, not because of fear, but because of the overwhelming sense of wrongness he exuded. His pale face was serene, his lips curling into an eerie smile as he murmured to himself.
"To die while dreaming," the boy muttered, his words barely audible over the roar of the train. "How lucky are they? No matter how strong a Demon Slayer is, the heart and spirit are the driving force of a human. Destroy the spiritual core, and even the strongest will crumble..."
Mitsuri’s grip on her blade tightened. There was no doubt in her mind—this was the demon responsible for lulling her and Alex into that strange, oppressive sleep. But now she was awake, her heart pounding with determination. She couldn’t let him continue his twisted games.
The demon, Enmu, turned slightly, his unnervingly calm eyes meeting hers. He tilted his head as if amused, as though her presence on the train’s roof was some unexpected entertainment.
"Ah, you woke up," Enmu said, his voice lilting with mock disappointment. "What a shame. I was hoping you’d remain in blissful slumber forever."
"Not a chance!" Mitsuri declared, her voice firm. "Your tricks won’t work on me again!"
Enmu’s smile widened. "Oh? Shall we test that theory?"
