"It's foolish, what they are doing." Kanao said. "And it won't stop Muzan."
"Of course not." Kanae said. "Once a spell has been ordained, nothing can stop it."

"Precocious little fellow, isn't he?" Kanao said.
"He's a fool." Kanae said. "To go up against Muzan with no power. Just as a mortal."
"If you would just let me help him—" Kanao said.
"No!" Shinobu said. "The best plan for now is to hide the princess from Muzan. In the one place she is forbidden to venture."
"The Enchanted Forest?" Kanao and Kanae said.
"Yes." Shinobu said. "Christiana will have a new name. We will call her Christi."
"And who's to say Muzan can't hear us, even now?" Kanae said.
"You think I would start plotting without placing a mask on the room?" Kanao giggled.
