105: You Know The Rules And So Do I

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Never gonna give you up."

"Never gonna let you down."

"Never gonna run around and desert you."

"Never gonna make you cry."

"Never gonna say goodbye."

"Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you."

[Iguro looks around desperately and pats down his yukata. He spots a lonely pen on the floor and picks it up. He needs to go down the east hall. So he chucks the pen north.]

"We've known each other for so long,"

"Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it."

"Inside we both know what's been going on,"

"We know the game and we're gonna play it."

"And if you ask me how I'm feeling,"

"Don't tell me you're too blind to see."

[The staff-who have been on edge since Iguro began his part of the plan-hurried down the north hallway. Iguro takes this opportunity; right when the last stand had his back turned, Iguro silently dashes down the east hall.]

"Never gonna give you up."

"Never gonna let you down."

"Never gonna run around and desert you."

"Never gonna make you cry."

"Never gonna say goodbye."

"Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you."

[Hariko mentioned that the office the demon hid in was heavily guarded. Not only that, but the walls were incredibly thick too. The downside of having a soundproof room was that the outside world would be unheard as well. Iguro could make as much trouble there as he pleased.]

"Never gonna give you up."

"Never gonna let you down."

"Never gonna run around and desert you."

"Never gonna make you cry."

"Never gonna say goodbye."

"Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you."

[Hariko himself was in his private room. He had changed into his Demon Slayer uniform and attached a nirichin blade to both sides of his hips. After all, you're going to need one too, aren't you?]

"We've known each other for so long."

"Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it."

"Inside we both know what's been going on,"

"We know the game and we're gonna play it."

"I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling,"

"Gotta make you understand."

You find yourself having a great time in stage. This song was an absolute banger and maybe if the intro wasn't so meme-able, you'd start listening to it on the regular. The audience seem to love it too, and if the demon's lingering presence told you anything, you'd say he liked it, too.

"Never gonna give you up."

"Never gonna let you down."

"Never gonna run around and desert you."
