Wake up

The rope that the sleep demon enmu made had the power to allow entry into the dreams of those bound by it.

The dreams that the sleep demon enmu creates do not continue infinitely.

They are circular, with the dreamer in the center.

Outside the dream is the realm of the unconscious.

The spiritual core exists in the unconscious realm.

If destroyed, the owner becomes an empty shell.

Usually people who have fallen under the demon's spell can't move.

Trapped in a dream, their consciousness and their physical body are completely severed.

Enmu was being extremely cautious.

There was a possibility that the demon slayers, despite having succumbed to the spell, would sense his malevolence, and break the spell.

So first he planned to use humans to destroy the demon slayers' spiritual cores, thereby incapacitating them.

He meant to kill their bodies.

Those who have lost their spiritual cores cannot resist even when their lives are in danger.

But Kyojuro was able to move.

Even while under a spell that should have immobilized him.

The girl who entered kyojuro's dream gave off no evil aura…

But Kyojuro instinctively sensed that destruction of his spiritual core would incapacitate him, and render him unable to fight...

The girl who had invaded kyojuro's dream is now being choked.

Not to death-

Kyojuro cannot kill a human, so he is also stuck.

It is a stalemate

"Netsu, can you get the water? We can't have miso soup without water!" her mother said.

She grabbed a bucket and walked towards the river.

Her reflection looked…

"WAKE UP, YOU'RE UNDER ATTACK! A DREAM! THIS IS A DREAM!! WAKE UP! GET UP AND FIGHT!!" the reflection said

Oh…

"Netsu, can you pass me the rice?" kyojuro said

Uh-oh…

Now i know it's a dream…

But…

Nezuko had fallen out of her box.

"Have to wake...up...this is a dream...i have to wake up…" tanjiro muttered

"Stop...this madness…" netsu muttered.

Nezuko tried to shake tanjiro awake, but he wouldn't budge.

She tried giving him a head pat to wake him up.

Still nothing.

Then she prepared her head to headbut tanjiro

BONK

"..."

Nezuko started to bleed.

"AHHH"

Then she set him aflame.

With demon fire.
