Christiana, Tanjiro, and his traveling companion continued to converse.
"Qui Shen." The companion said as Tanjiro put the amulet into a purse at his side. "In your land you would call it a Wraith."
Christiana looked at Tanjiro. "I'm sorry, who is this?"
Removing her helmet, Tanjiro's traveling companion was revealed to be Nezuko. "His sister."
"You're his sister?" Christiana gasped.
"My name is Nezuko." Tamayo said. "And I lost everything to Muzan and his Wraiths and demons."
"In your absence, she has helped me like no other. We've fought many battles together." Tanjiro said.
"With your sister." Christiana repeated as Tanjiro nodded.
"And now we have another to wage." Nezuko said. "The Qui Shen, the Wraith, is one of the most dangerous creatures in all the known lands. A soul sucker. According to legend it marks its victims and removes their souls, damning them for all eternity." The Wraith's wailing could be heard. "Those are the sounds of the souls it's trapped, trying to escape. But fortune favoured us, as we all avoided the mark. We need to begin our journey." She turned and walked away.
"It's okay. We'll be safe with our people." Tanjiro and Christiana embraced. Tanjiro noticed a mark on his hand from the Wraith's amulet. Christiana turned, Tanjiro hid his hand before she saw.
"Tanjiro, what is it?" Christiana asked.
"Nothing. Everything is fine." Tanjiro lied, his face twisting so he turned away..
