"Brother! There's another hashira!" Daki's voice broke through the ambience of the night, silencing the crickets and groaning of train cars, if only for a moment. Gyutaro turned to attention, raising an eyebrow. He looked at you, kicking Kyōjurō's body away.

Kyōjurō would've fought back, but he was already exhausted from fighting another moon. Plus, he'd been fighting since you left.

After the Mugen Train crashed, you took Inosuke, Tanjirō, and Zenitsu to get medical attention at a nearby city. When you returned, Gyutaro and Daki had found Kyōjurō. From the entertainment district, they'd heard the commotion, and went to investigate.

Gyutaro scratched his own skin, narrowing his eyes as he approached you. "Another hashira? You're bound to die as well.."

Kyōjurō had been poisoned and lay dying on the ground several feet away, blood dripping from his injuries. He attempted to slow his heart rate to combat the poison, and it was working, although poorly.
