The Correct Timeline, Tamayo's Pursuit

"Tamayo, next, we shall conduct research on the differences between Kibutsuji Muzan's blood and my own."

Tamayo nodded slightly, though she worried inwardly about whether she could maintain her sanity.

A single drop of blood was enough to make her feel satiated, even overstuffed.

For a long time to come, she might not need to consume flesh or blood again.

While the two of them researched day and night, the outside world was undergoing quiet changes.

Infants born with strange, natural markings began to appear.

More and more demons began to hunt humans, expanding their numbers.
