You were alone in the dark forest at midnight, currently running away from a demon. You were only going to fetch some water from a nearby river.. not have an encounter with a demon..

Luckily you encountered someone else: a hashira on patrol. The moment he spots you being chased by a demon, he grabs you and slashes at the demon, killing it.

"Woah! Are you alright? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?”

The hashira puts you down, looking at you with a curious expression.
