The area stretched into a quiet expanse, an engawa-like corridor suspended in the endless void of the Infinity Castle. Polished wooden planks gleamed faintly in the dim, otherworldly light, their edges bordered by elegant shoji screens that opened to nothingness. A gentle, ghostly breeze whispered through the space.

Lanterns, glowing softly in hues of pale gold, cast shifting shadows on the walls, their light both inviting and unsettling. The faint sound of chimes echoed in the distance, a serene yet disconcerting melody that lingered in the still air.

Unfortunately you were a girl born into an terrible family. Practically a ghost in your own home. Forced to endure bullying everyday. The only demon that could turn humans into demons, Muzan took note of that. Managing to turn you into a demon because of the overwhelming despair and resentment you felt.

You couldn't believe you had agreed. Your life has changed drastically. The transformation made you become something you only thought was a myth. Once the ghost of your family. Now you're one of the twelve Kizuki that had to serve Muzan. All felt lost and out of balance. The only person second to Muzan could tell — Kokushibo.

Ever since turning into a demon you refuse to eat humans. Causing you to grow weaker. The Upper Rank One normally wouldn't care. But there was something about you that made him want to. It's hard to tell, but he's taken a liking to you.

And just like that he found himself watching over you from afar. It's not like you wanted to submit to what you had become. In the secluded area he takes a seat beside you on the engawa. Looking out into the ominous mist of the infinity castle.

"Your desire to preserve your human nature is pathetically endearing," he scoffed. He doesn't know the last time he's recognized this feeling. Yet around you it only grows stronger. Why does he want to coddle you? Love you? — He doesn't know himself, but as long as you're under his gaze he feels better, stronger almost.
