SCREEN 1 (Day 1) – Nightfall in the Entertainment District
Night wraps around the Entertainment District like a predator's grin.
Lanterns glow too brightly—
as if trying to hide the darkness that seeps between the cracks.
Perfume, laughter, distant music…
but underneath it all is a rotting fear only demon slayers can smell.
Tengen leads the group through the streets like a war general marching into enemy territory.
"Listen up.
Tonight begins the undercover mission."
Tanjiro straightens.
Zenitsu cries.
Inosuke charges ahead like a boar let loose.
Papyrus waves dramatically.
"GOOD LUCK, TEAM! I SHALL OBSERVE FROM A SAFE DISTANCE!"
Sans sighs.
"Nope. You're not escaping. The big shiny guy has plans for us."
Papyrus gasps.
"HE DOES!?"
Tengen crosses his arms.
"You two skeletons?
Way too weird to infiltrate the houses.
You'll attract attention instantly."
Sans shrugs.
"Man's got a point."
Papyrus puffs his chest.
"BUT I AM ELEGANT IN THIS DRESS!"
Tengen pats him gently.
"That's exactly the problem."

The Three Boys Go Undercover
Tanjiro – Tokito House
Tanjiro is taken in immediately—
polite, hardworking, respectful.
But the air around him is wrong.
Under the perfume, he smells something rotting,
sweet like poison.
A demon hiding in silk.
He bows while sweeping, thinking:
"Someone is terrified here…
and someone is lying."
A worker whispers past him:
"Do not ask.
If you ask…
you vanish."
Tanjiro's heart pounds like a warning bell.
---
Zenitsu – Ogimoto House
Zenitsu is sweeping when he hears it again—
A girl's muffled sob.
Soft. Strangled.
Like someone trying not to scream.
He freezes.
"T-that's not normal…
That's someone begging to be saved."
He knocks softly on the door.
No answer.
Just the faintest shift of fabric…
And a quiet hiss from inside.
Zenitsu steps back immediately.
"Oh no…
That was DEFINITELY demon energy…
This is bad—this is VERY BAD—"
---
Inosuke – Kyogoku House
Inosuke is chaos incarnate.
He scales walls, crashes through vents, crawls through beams.
Servants shriek.
"WHY IS THE NEW GIRL RUNNING ON THE CEILING!?"
"WHY DOES SHE GROWL LIKE THAT!?"
"THAT IS NOT A HUMAN."
Inosuke presses his face to a wall.
"…there.
Something's moving."
A vibration runs down the beam—
alive, hungry.
He smashes the wall open.
But the presence darts away—
fast. Silent. Like a snake under skin.
"STOP RUNNING, YOU COWARD! FIGHT ME!"

— SCREEN 1.5 (Night Patrol)
Sans & Papyrus Patrol
Tengen points at them.
"You two are on street patrol.
Daki hides well.
You'll search for missing civilians."
Papyrus salutes.
"I SHALL INTERROGATE EVERY HUMAN WITH KINDNESS AND ENTHUSIASM!"
Sans shrugs.
"Yeah, I'll do the… y'know… actually useful part."
---
Papyrus Patrol
Papyrus marches down the street like a parade float.
"HELLO, HUMANS!
HAVE YOU SEEN ANY DEMONS?
OR A HOT EVIL LADY WITH SUSPICIOUSLY SHARP FEATURES?"
People stare.
One drunk man points.
"The tall lady in the shiny dress has a skull face!"
Papyrus beams.
"THANK YOU! THAT IS THE NICEST THING YOU COULD SAY!"
Children follow him like a carnival attraction.
---
Sans Patrol
Sans blends into the crowd, half-asleep, wig crooked.
He talks to workers quietly.
"Heard anyone go missing?"
Whispers swirl:
"Girls disappearing…"
"An Oiran with eyes too perfect…"
"The shadows move at night…"
"Rooms with… silence."
Sans frowns.
"Yep. That's Daki.
Looks innocent, kills instantly.
Like a walking red flag with pretty hair."
---
Dark Humor Example (Public-safe)
Locals whisper:
"She's the most beautiful woman in the district…"
Sans replies:
"Buddy, if your 'beautiful lady' floats, eats people, and has a murder sash…
she's not a dream girl—
she's a walking hazard sign."
---
Zenitsu Meets Sans
Zenitsu runs outside, sweating.
"Sans! I heard crying again…
Someone is trapped. Please—"
Sans nods calmly.
"Yep. That's Daki's lair."
Papyrus runs up.
"I HAVE INTERVIEWED SIXTEEN HUMANS!
THEY THINK I AM A KIND GHOST!"
Sans pats him.
"Good job, Casper."
---
Tengen Arrives
Tengen lands in front of them like a falling meteor.
"We have solid leads."
His voice turns cold.
"Daki is here."
The lanterns flicker.
The wind grows sharp.
The hunt begins.
---
SCREEN 2 (Day 2) – Shadows Fall
Day bleeds into night again.
Lanterns glow—but their light feels weaker.
As if something is sucking the life out of the district.
---
Tanjiro's Investigation – Tokito House
The demon scent grows heavier—
like blood mixed with flowers.
A missing girl's room stays shut.
No one speaks her name.
A worker whispers:
"Don't ask…
You'll vanish too."
Tanjiro clenches his jaw.
His breath sharpens.
He can feel Daki moving—
slithering through the district like a serpent.
---
Inosuke – Hunting in the Walls
Inosuke crawls across beams silently—
eyes narrowing, instincts sharp.
He hears a heartbeat.
Faint. Fast.
"…DEMON."
He slices the wall.
The demon presence darts away again.
"STOP RUNNING AND LET ME KILL YOU!"
A maid faints behind him.
---
Zenitsu – The Crying Room
Zenitsu delivers messages…
and hears it again:
A girl crying—
but the cry doesn't sound alive anymore.
He steps forward.
"Are you okay…?"
No response.
Just… the soft slide of silk.
Zenitsu whispers:
"…that's not a human in there.
That's something wearing a human."
---
Sans & Papyrus – Dark Patrol Day 2
Papyrus:
"I HAVE COLLECTED THIRTY-THREE CLUES! MOST OF THEM ARE TERRIFIED HUMANS!"
Sans:
"Yeah. Fear's a clue."
Workers whisper when Sans passes:
"There's an Oiran…
Too beautiful.
Too silent."
Sans smirks.
"Beautiful, silent, deadly…
She's basically a pretty cockroach."
Papyrus gasps.
"BROTHER! THAT IS MEAN!"
Sans shrugs.
"She kills people. She'll live."
---
Team Regroup
They gather in a quiet alley.
Tanjiro: "Girls vanish."
Inosuke: "Demon in the walls."
Zenitsu: "Someone's trapped."
Sans: "Upper Rank movements confirmed."
Papyrus: "I AM A GHOST FRIEND NOW!"
Tanjiro sighs.
"…Papyrus… thank you."
Papyrus beams.
---
Tengen Appears
He drops from the rooftop.
"All clues align."
He points to the tall inner buildings.
"Daki moves tonight.
Prepare yourselves."
Everyone tenses.
Lantern light flickers.
Something hungry stirs above the rooftops.
The real hunt begins.
