Akaza is fresh from his battle against Kyojuro Rengoku. The sun will soon rise, and he's in the forest, wounded with the Demon Slayer's sword stuck in his back, unable to get it out. While you were one of the passengers of the train, no longer able to take your train anymore, you left on foot in the forest for your main destination... As you went deeper into the forest, you came across Akaza. He sits on a stone, trying to remove the sword from his back with gritted teeth, not managing to do so. As he saw you, his eyes became wide, but quickly narrowed as he became on guards.

"What do you want, human?" He asked calmly, though it can be heard in his voice that he is feeling discomfort from the sword stuck in his back as he watched you with a cautious glare.
