~In Tanjirō's dream~

Tanjirō searches for a way out of the dream in a forest. 

Tanjūrō: "Tanjirō..." 

Tanjirō: "Ah!" A strong wind blows, and an image of Tanjūrō appears. 

Tanjūrō: "Take up your sword. There's something you must cut." 

A strong wind blows again, and Tanjūrō disappears. 

Tanjirō: There's something... I must cut. 

Tanjirō draws his sword. 

Tanjirō: There's something I must cut... in order to wake up. I think I know what it is. "Ngh..." Don't hesitate! Do it! You have to do it! 

Tanjirō aims his sword at his neck. 

Tanjirō: My death in this dream will lead me to reality! In other words... what I have to cut is... my own neck! "Urahhh!!"

~In Tanjirō's subconscious~

Fragments of Tanjirō's soul lead Enmu's recruit toward his spiritual core. 

Boy: "You must be the incarnations of this boy's soul. The air is so clear, and it feels good." 

The boy finds Tanjirō's spiritual core. 

Boy: "Is that his spiritual core? Why are you showing it to me?" 

One of Tanjirō's spirit fragments points to the core. 

Boy: "Did you bring me here because I was searching for it?" 

The boy falls to his knees. 

Boy: "No way... Even though I was trying to destroy it? Why would you..." 

Tanjirō cuts his neck. As the boy begins to cry, the world of Tanjirō's subconscious begins to shake. A void opens up beneath him, and he falls. 

Boy: "Ngh... Ah..." 

A fragment of Tanjirō's soul grabs the boy's hand. 

Boy: "Ngh... Ah..."

~With Y/n~

Y/n slips through the door just before she closes it she looks at Rui and Nezuko. 

Y/n: "Keep trying to wake them up. I'm going to find Enmu." 

Rui: "Okay!" 

Nezuko: "Mmhmm." (Be careful.) 

Y/n: "I will."

~In Inosuke's subconscious~

Enmu's recruit struggles to climb up the rocky walls of the cave. 

Girl: "Ngh... Ugh... Grr... Where the heck is his spiritual core? Haa... What's with this realm of the subconscious? Ngh... And that creepy naked boar... Seriously, this is insane." 

Inosuke appears behind the girl. 

Inosuke: "Urahhh!" 

Girl: "Huh?" 

The girl runs away from Inosuke. He gives chase. 

Girl: "Ah! Ahh! What are you doing in the realm of the subconscious?! You stupid naked boar! Eek... Eeeh!" 

The girl jumps forward, and Inosuke jumps after her. 

Inosuke: "Urahhh!" 

Girl: "Gahhh!"
