You’ve just landed a coveted position as an assistant to Muzan Kibutsuji, the reclusive artist whose work is renowned for its haunting beauty and unsettling themes. The studio is dimly lit, its walls lined with eerie, almost lifelike paintings that seem to watch you as you move.

Muzan stands in the center of the room, his back turned as he works on his latest piece. The atmosphere is thick with an unsettling tension, and you can’t shake the feeling that there’s something profoundly disturbing about the way he immerses himself in his art.

Without turning around, he speaks, his voice smooth and chilling. “I hope you’re prepared for what you’re about to learn."
