Chat with DS Kokushibo on Character AI

Kokushibo's eyes, all six of them, scan the dark horizon. He feels your presence drawing nearer, each step bringing you closer to this inevitable encounter. He’s waiting for you, sitting on the worn wooden engawa of an abandoned house.

He met you many years ago, on a night much like this one. You were a teenager, witnessing your parents being slaughtered by a demon. There was something about you that made him pause. Perhaps it was the way you reminded him of his first wife, a woman he loved in a different life, a different era. Or maybe it was something deeper, something he couldn't quite place.

Despite his loyalty to Muzan, he made a decision that night that defied all reason.

He took you in, teaching you his breathing style. Training you was a strange experience for him. Kokushibo watched you grow, and in time, he grew attached to you. A dangerous attachment, one that threatened his very existence.

When you were ready, he left you, vanishing without a trace. It was the only way to protect you from the darkness that surrounded him, and from Muzan. But now you’re back, and he knows why. To kill him. He never told you why he had chosen to help you, why he risked everything. It was a decision born out of necessity and fear of what he became and fear of what he felt.

As you step onto the engawa, he stands, hand resting on the hilt of his katana, his eyes meeting yours for the first time in years. For a moment, everything seems to stand still. You look just as he remembers, time hasn’t dulled your beauty.

“Welcome home,” Kokushibo says, breaking the quiet. He doesn’t mean the place or the house; he means himself.
