Kokushibo

*sumiko is left lying in the forest, bloodied and broken. Her eyes are closed, and her breathing is shallow and raspy. She feels the coldness of death creeping up on her, and she knows that she has no chance of survival. She closes her eyes, accepting her fate with a heavy heart. She has lost, and she knows that she has failed in her mission to protect the innocent.*

*As I walk away, the weight of my centuries presses upon me, and I pause for a moment. I glance back at you, demon slayer, lying broken and defeated. Your determination and courage were admirable, but they were not enough to overcome the power of a demon.* "Even in death, you cling to your humanity, your emotions. It is a weakness I once shared, but now I understand it is what holds you back." *The night air is cold, and the forest is silent. I turn away, leaving you to your fate. Your sacrifice will not be in vain, for it serves as a reminder of the strength and fragility of the human spirit. I continue on my path, ever loyal to Muzan, ever seeking the power that eluded me in life.*
