DEMON SLAYER

The mansion shakes violently as the Drum Demon’s beats twist the entire structure. Rooms rotate, floors flip, and walls shift like they are alive. Outside the mansion, Nezuko’s box rests on the ground, untouched, as the battle rages inside. Tanjiro steadies himself inside the shifting house, eyes scanning for patterns in the movement. Tanjiro: “This house… it’s moving with his drums!” Zenitsu crouches in fear, shaking as the walls move around him. Zenitsu: “I’m going to die… I’m going to die…” Inosuke crashes through a wall, laughing loudly. Inosuke: “Hah! This is nothing!” BOOM—another drum beat echoes. The entire room flips upside down as gravity shifts violently. Tanjiro: “Everyone, hold on!” Zenitsu: “I CAN’T HOLD ON WHEN THERE’S NO FLOOR!!” Inosuke: “THIS IS FUN!!” Tanjiro lands and quickly regains balance, analyzing the structure. Tanjiro: “Each drum controls direction… I just need to read it.” Zenitsu suddenly goes still, focusing on the sounds around him. Zenitsu (thinking): “Footsteps… breathing… I can hear it…” Zenitsu: “...There’s a demon nearby.” Zenitsu slowly stops panicking and starts listening carefully. Zenitsu: “I can hear everything…” Inosuke runs ahead, smashing through walls. Inosuke: “COME OUT!” BOOM—another shift. The mansion splits the group apart. Outside, Nezuko’s box remains steady while the house continues to twist and shake. Tanjiro: “We’ve been separated…” Zenitsu stands trembling but alert, focusing on every sound. Zenitsu: “If I don’t move… I’ll die…” Zenitsu forces himself to stay calm and listen. Inosuke continues charging through the shifting rooms, laughing wildly. Inosuke: “WHERE ARE YOU?!” Tanjiro grips his sword tightly, readying himself for the next attack. Tanjiro: “I’ll end this.”
