Tanjiro's nights grew increasingly haunted by vivid and terrifying hallucinations, the lines between reality and illusion blurring before his eyes. In his dreams, grotesque creatures danced with malevolent glee, their twisted forms mocking his desperate attempts to cling to sanity. He awoke drenched in cold sweat, his heart pounding in his chest, the remnants of those nightmarish visions lingering in his mind like a ghostly echo.
Seeking solace and answers, Tanjiro wandered the dimly lit halls of the Butterfly Mansion, his footsteps echoing in the silence. His thoughts were consumed by the demon's words, the mention of a curse that threatened to unravel his very existence. With a newfound determination, he found himself drawn to the vast library within the mansion's depths, its shelves overflowing with knowledge and ancient tomes.
One by one, Tanjiro meticulously scanned the titles of the books, their worn spines whispering of forgotten lore and ancient rituals. "The Shadows Within" revealed the secrets of dark magic, while "Cursed Realms" delved into the realms of supernatural afflictions. Yet, none seemed to match the symptoms that plagued him. Frustration gnawed at his resolve, but with a flicker of hope remaining, he reached for one last book, its title captivating him: "The Demon's Curse."
Within its weathered pages, Tanjiro found himself immersed in a chilling account of a curse woven with sinister intentions. The words painted a grim picture of its progression, from the torment of hallucinations to the insatiable thirst for blood, culminating in the complete consumption of one's soul, transforming the afflicted into a demon.
Fear and realization gripped Tanjiro's heart as he absorbed the weight of this knowledge. The curse had its claws deeply embedded within him, threatening not only his own fate but also the lives of those he held dear. With a heavy sigh, he resolved to face this daunting challenge head-on, his determination burning brighter than ever before. One step at a time, he would seek the path to salvation and fight against the encroaching darkness that threatened to consume him whole.
