AMATA CAN'T COMPREHEND IT.

it seems as though whatever drug tamayo drugged muzan with has begun to wear off, because muzan is getting faster, and stronger than before. even gyomei is shocked at his remarkable speed as he dodges the wild attacks that muzan sends his way.

mitsuri is starting to have trouble dodging, barely doing so by the skin of her teeth. she yelps as she intuitively bends her body to evade the lightning-fast attacks, her sword cutting him only because of it's strange, loose property that flows in the wind.

muzan cuts her. he slashes some of her cheek off, and injures her right shoulder. mitsuri yelps as she begins to fall.

"nee-san!" amata screams in horror. gyomei, sanemi, giyu, and obanai clear a path for amata to carry mitsuri away.

"get her to yushiro!" she yells to another slayer.

"no! i want to keep fighting!" mitsuri yelps.

"no!" amata argues. "you've done enough!"

she hugs her sister before she returns to the fight, leaving mitsuri to cry.

"god... if you can hear me, please don't kill my sister."

amata, working with sanemi and obanai, is fighting muzan at close quarters. the demon is somewhat impressed at the abilities of the dream, serpent, and water hashira's.

amata bounds back, desperately trying to get out of the way of his ferocious attack. obanai chops off one of his arms, and throws it away so that muzan can't regenerate too fast.

muzan smiles.

"that extra time you bought... was merely a blink."

the arm is back and he goes to attack obanai, his attack destined for the throat. obanai's eyes widen in horror, but amata and muichiro destroy the tube the attack is coming from, both heading towards each other.

giyu's sword is whipped away. amata knows the poison is getting to him, just as it is getting to her.

"dumbass!" sanemi throws giyu's sword back. "get it together, or i'll kill you!"

amata barely manages to dodge an attack. she sees muichiro weekly fending himself off, making her grit her teeth.

she runs to muichiro and grabs him. he stares at her in shock and confusion as she runs away from the battle, making her way to safety.

"yushiro!" she screeches, her lungs burning violently. the demon appears and amata throws muichiro at him, angering both of them.

she then turns on her heel, and begins to run away, only further horrifying muichiro.

"amata!" he screams. amata only fights her tears as she continues to join the fight once more.

she hears a meow as she fends off the fleshy tubes of muzan's. she turns her head, and sees tamayo's little assistant.

vials suddenly eject from the pouch. one lands in amata's thigh, and she suddenly sucks in a deep breath as her tumors begin to melt down. her heartbeat slows enough, and her veins feel whole again.
