A Kakushi walked among the rubble of the destroyed entertainment district when he suddenly stepped on a mirror cracking it 

Kakushi: This is awful. What kind of battle do you have to wage to end up like this?

He climbed over a destroyed house's roof once at the top he saw Zane, Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu all hugging passed out as Nezuko sat there 

Kakushi: Found them! Everyone! I need you to come!

He ran down the roof to the group

Kakushi: They're here! 

Ubuyashiki: Is that right? They defeated it? An Upper Rank?

He coughed up blood and keeled over

Amane: Master Kagaya...

Ubuyashiki: For a hundred years... For a hundred years, nothing had changed! But now it has! Amane...

He looked to his wife

Ubuyashiki: Do you see? This is an omen! Fate is about to take a dramatic turn! The consequences will be widespread! Sweeping up everything them, shaking them to their core! And eventually, they'll reach that man! Muzan Kibutsuji! We will defeat you without fail during our generation! You, the sole blemish on my family!

Elsewhere in the never-ending dimension of the Infinity Castle lamps lit up in a sequence as the rest of the castle lit up with lights 

Through the dimension of random Japanese buildings stood Upper Moon Three, Akaza and he looked around 

"Upper Three"

He looked up seeing the endless void of rooms confused as to why he was here

Akaza: (The alternate dimension. The Infinity Castle. The fact that I was summoned here means...)

His eyes widened in shock 

Akaza: (That an Upper Rank was killed by the Demon Slayers!)

He grunted angrily as his veins bulged then they suddenly stopped and he fell forward through the castle and soon made it past all the rooms finding a lone house 

Then he suddenly flipped around and landed and looked around as windows lit up then moved away like blocks then Akaza jumped as one lifted him away

He looked up as the castle moved and distorted allowing him to pass by his pillar raised higher and higher far more than any other a light reflected in Akaza's eye as a Biwa was strung

Now Akaza suddenly stood on a platform in front of the Biwa demon a pot nearby Akaza suddenly jumped making the Third Rank glance over

Pot: Well, well, if it isn't you, Lord Akaza!

Water inside the pot started to move echoing through the top as four hands reached out and a fish like head popped out with eyes on his forehead and mouth and mouths on his eyes

Pot: So lovely to see you in such good health! What has it been, 90 years?

"Gyokko - Upper Moon Five"

Gyokko: The thought that you might've perished made my heart sing--

He stopped himself and coughed

Gyokko: It made my worried heart fill with anguish!

He chuckled as Akaza grimaced then he suddenly felt a presence behind him finding a small demon with a large purple bulge on his head between two horns
