Summary
Muzan-sama told him he would almost certainly die, for Douma lacked the drive, that endless craving of want and desire that pushed humans to live even through the worst pain.
Douma respected his master, then and now, but the king of demons hadn't quite seen the young cult leader for all that he was; for all that he did want.
Douma wanted to feel something, anything, even if it was just for a fleeting moment.
So he chased the pain of his transformation, chased it in circles like a dog biting at its own tail until it finally slipped through his fingers like grains of sand.
In the end, he had lived. No worse for wear and no less empty than when he'd been human.
That hollowness ended up being his greatest strength.
His stomach, much like his heart, was a bottomless pit, home to a darkness so terrible that not even the light of the sun could penetrate its depths.
Or
A brief look into the life and mind of Douma.
