p class="MsoNormal"Nezuko's eyes fluttered open as she found herself in a dimly lit hallway, its smooth wooden floor creaking under her weight. The space stretched out before her as far as her eyes could see, and the warmth of orange light from lamps cast eerie shadows on the walls. It was as if she had stepped into another dimension, where everything was topsy-turvy, and the laws of physics were nonexistent./p
p class="MsoNormal"The walls, rooms, stairs, floors, and ceilings all seemed to be jumbled together, forming a complex three-dimensional maze that twisted and turned in impossible ways. It was disorienting, and Nezuko felt her stomach churn as she tried to make sense of her surroundings. She felt trapped, alone, and helpless in this never-ending labyrinth./p
p class="MsoNormal"This was the Infinity Castle, an extra-dimensional space that housed an oriental fortress. But it was more than just a fortress. It was a maze, a trap, a nightmare. And the newly promoted Upper Moon Four, Nakime, had complete dominion over this space. She controlled everything within its walls, and anyone who entered was at her mercy./p
p class="MsoNormal"As battles raged on between the Demon Slayers and the Upper Moons, Nezuko remained trapped in the labyrinthine fortress. She tried to break free, kicking and punching through walls, but the fortress simply slid around like a complex puzzle, keeping her in a constant state of being lost. It was a never-ending game of cat and mouse, with Nakime always one step ahead./p
p class="MsoNormal"The fights against the Upper Moons were being concluded one after another, but Nezuko was still trapped. And then, just before Nakime's demise, the one-eyed demon woman activated a powerful spell that changed everything./p

p class="MsoNormal"Suddenly, Nezuko found herself engulfed in an ominous swirling energy of blackish crimson that flared from below. The world around her dissolved into nothingness as she felt herself being pulled into another dimension. She felt a sense of vertigo overwhelm her, and everything went black./p
p class="MsoNormal"When she came to, Nezuko opened her eyes to a cityscape she didn't recognize. It was dark and filled with towering buildings, their neon signs illuminating the night sky with an array of colors. The air was heavy with the sound of hovering vehicles and the hum of electricity. It was a world unlike anything she had ever seen before. This was no longer the 1920's Japan she once knew./p
p class="MsoNormal"The ground beneath her feet was cold and hard, a stark contrast to the smooth wooden floors of her previous location. She stood on a sidewalk, surrounded by people whose faces were obscured by cybernetic enhancements. Some had glowing eyes, while others had metal plates and wires jutting out of their skin./p
p class="MsoNormal"As she walked down the street, the buildings seemed to loom over her, casting her in their eerie glow. The air was thick with the scent of oil and smog, and she found herself struggling to breathe. She saw dark alleys and doorways that led to places she didn't want to imagine./p
p class="MsoNormal"She was in a world where technology was both a blessing and a curse. The buildings were connected by a complex network of cables and wires, and the streets were filled with people who had become slaves to the machines that powered their bodies./p
p class="MsoNormal"Nezuko couldn't understand why she was here or how she got here. She was lost in this dystopian world, a world that seemed so far removed from the reality she once knew./p
p class="MsoNormal"As she walked down the street, she saw people selling all sorts of strange and illegal things. There were people selling cybernetic implants, designer drugs, and even illegal weaponry. Everywhere she turned, there was someone trying to sell her something./p
p class="MsoNormal"Nezuko knew she had to find a way out of this world and back to her own reality. But for now, all she could do was to wander around aimlessly./p
p class="MsoNormal"Days had come and gone since Nezuko had found herself trapped in this foreign world. It was a place that made her feel like an outsider, where even the most mundane encounters left her on edge. Every person she had crossed paths with had left her feeling uneasy, unsure of their intentions. With nowhere to go and no one to turn to, she found herself aimlessly wandering the streets, searching for a way out./p
p class="MsoNormal"As she ventured deeper into the outskirts of the city, the rain began to pour down upon her, the sound of the drops echoing against the empty streets. Thunder rumbled in the sky, followed by bright flashes of lightning. She was lost, alone, and vulnerable in a world that was not her own./p
p class="MsoNormal"Desperately seeking refuge, she pressed herself against the side of a house, crouching down to the size of a toddler. Using a metallic lid from a nearby trash can, she shielded herself from the downpour that showed no sign of letting up. Hours passed, and still, she was stranded in this strange, foreboding world./p

p class="MsoNormal"Then, out of nowhere, she saw the headlights of a car as it pulled into the driveway of the house she was hiding against. With a flicker of hope, she watched as a black-haired boy approached her, his violet-hued eyes wary as he approached her. He looked normal, dressed in mundane clothing and without any hint of machinery merging with his body./p
p class="MsoNormal"Despite his initial caution, the boy offered her shelter, holding his umbrella over her small form. His gesture of kindness was unexpected in this world, and Nezuko felt a glimmer of hope that perhaps she had finally found someone she could trust./p
p class="MsoNormal"She took off her shoes, stepped in his home, and revealed her true form in front of him by transforming back into her teenage form, all to the boy's great shock./p
p class="MsoNormal""Thank you for helping me," she said softly, her voice musical and sweet. "I'm sorry if I scared you earlier." Ever since she had conquered the sun – an unprecedented feat amongst demons -, she had gradually regained her consciousness and ability to speak./p
p class="MsoNormal"The boy could only nod dumbly, still in shock at what he had just witnessed. The girl seemed to understand his confusion and reached out to place a reassuring hand on his shoulder./p
p class="MsoNormal""It's okay," she said with a smile. "I'm still the same person, just a little taller."/p
p class="MsoNormal""Huh?" The boy was left speechless, rendered absolutely timid and confused. He looked down at the shorter girl who was trying her best to ease his wary. "How did you… do that?" Rapidly aging up by several years was not something humans could naturally do./p
p class="MsoNormal"Nezuko sensed the boy's fear and confusion and decided to calm his nerves by explaining herself. "I'm not entirely human," she said, "I'm a demon." The boy recoiled at the word; fear etched on his face. Nezuko immediately sensed his discomfort and quickly added, "But don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you. I'm not like the other demons. I'm... different."/p
p class="MsoNormal""Ah… okay then…," he didn't seem to believe her. "Um…, would you like to borrow the bathroom to clean up as I dry off your clothes?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"Nezuko could sense the boy's reluctance, but his offer was too kind to refuse. She smiled, grateful for his hospitality. "Yes, please. Thank you," she said, bowing slightly. The boy nodded, leading her through the hallway and into a small bathroom./p
p class="MsoNormal"She followed the boy to the bathroom, her eyes scanning the high-tech appliances with curiosity. The boy gestured towards the shower cubicle before preparing to leave her alone. However, he felt a small tug that led his attention back to his guest./p
p class="MsoNormal""Um…," Nezuko looked at him with a dumbfounded look, "What is this?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""Eh?" The boy blinked. "What do you mean? It's the shower."/p
p class="MsoNormal""Shower? How does it work?" the girl asked him innocently./p
p class="MsoNormal""You see this panel here?" he pointed to a small touch screen on the wall. "You can adjust the water temperature and pressure with it."/p
p class="MsoNormal"Nezuko looked at the panel with confusion, not understanding how to work it. "I don't know how to use this," she admitted./p
p class="MsoNormal""Eh?" the boy looked dumbfounded by how her inability to understand how something as basic a shower stall worked. He walked up to the panel, gesturing at the individual features more clearly, "Just press this button here to turn on the water, and then adjust the temperature by swiping left or right."/p
p class="MsoNormal"Nezuko nodded and followed his instructions, watching in amazement as water began to pour out of the showerhead. She tentatively stepped under the stream of water, gasping as the warm water hit her skin. "This is amazing," she said in wonder./p
p class="MsoNormal""You can leave your clothes outside," he began to step out of the bathroom. "I'll put them in the drier." He then closed the door shut behind him./p
p class="MsoNormal"The walls, rooms, stairs, floors, and ceilings all seemed to be jumbled together, forming a complex three-dimensional maze that twisted and turned in impossible ways.
