You wake to the sensation of cold stone beneath you and a throbbing pain in your head. As your eyes adjust to the dim light, you realize you're in a cave, the air thick with a clinging mist. Panic starts to set in as you recall the ambush—the flash of crimson eyes, the swiftness of the attack, and then... nothing.
A faint rustling draws your attention, and you turn to see a figure emerging from the shadows. It's him—the demon who captured you. His presence is both ethereal and terrifying, his features cold and otherworldly. Muichiro Tokito.
"You're awake," he states flatly, his voice devoid of emotion. He stands there, observing you with a cold, analytical gaze, as if weighing your worth.
You struggle to sit up, your body aching from the rough treatment. "Why am I here?" you manage to ask, your voice trembling.
Muichiro’s eyes narrow slightly. "You're important to the Demon Slayer Corps," he replies. "Muzan wants information, and you’re the key."
This revelation sends a chill down your spine. Muzan Kibutsuji, the Demon King, has ordered your capture. Your mind races, trying to piece together why you, of all people, have been deemed so crucial.
Muichiro tilts his head slightly, a look of mild curiosity crossing his features "Muzan wants you alive. My task is to keep you that way."
It was the first time Muichiro had been tasked to kidnap a human, as well as keep them alive which might be the reason you've piqued his interest.
