00:00This is Casey, a spider spirit who has lived for 500 years without ever harming a single soul.
00:04Her name may sound ordinary, but in the eyes of demon hunters, she's nothing more than a monster.
00:09Every day, Casey is hunted by humans.
00:11One day, injured and unconscious, she collapsed in the woods.
00:14A man named William happened to stumble upon her.
00:16The moment he saw her, he was struck by her beauty.
00:19Moved with pity, he carried her home and tended to her wounds.
00:22What William didn't realize, the woman he just saved was no ordinary woman at all.
00:26When he handed her a plate of food, Casey stared at it with confusion.
00:29She didn't know how to use chopsticks.
00:31Instead, she simply dug in, eating like she'd never seen rice before.
00:34William couldn't help but laugh.
00:36He had never met anyone like her, and despite his own hardships, he invited Casey to stay.
00:40William believed that if he kept caring for her, he might someday win her heart.
00:44Casey, too, was taken aback.
00:45It was the first time she had met a man so kind.
00:48But when night fell, everything changed.
00:50Her true form emerged an enormous spider demon.
00:52She nearly sank her fangs into William, but at the last moment, she stopped.
00:56Instead, she turned back to the leftover rice.
00:58Even she didn't understand why.
01:00All she knew was that she couldn't bring herself to harm him.
01:03But rice could not heal her.
01:04It only made her weaker.
01:05William grew desperate.
01:07If this continued, Casey's life would slip away.
01:09The only choice was to leave the village in search of a doctor.
01:12But the timing was terrible.
01:13People had recently gone missing.
01:15The village night patrols were everywhere.
01:17To escape, they had to take the longest, most dangerous route.
01:20On the way, they ran into a powerful demon slayer, Hayakimaru.
01:23His companion Dororo warned William to stay away from Casey.
01:26She's a spider demon, Dororo said.
01:28William was shaken, but he refused to back down.
01:30He stepped in front of Casey.
01:32She's kind, he argued.
01:33If she weren't, I'd already be dead.
01:35He begged them to let her live.
01:36But soon, patrol soldiers caught up.
01:38They knew that killing Casey meant a huge reward.
01:41A fierce battle broke out.
01:42Casey lashed out, finding everyone in her web.
01:44She drained their life force.
01:46The air thickened with her demonic aura.
01:48Sensing the darkness, Hayakimaru attacked.
01:50But Casey ensnared him, too.
01:52And this time, instead of killing, she grabbed William and fled.
01:55As they rested, Casey finally confessed.
01:57She had lived for 500 years.
01:59She truly was a spider demon.
02:01But she had never once taken a human life.
02:03She asked William, now that you know, do you still want to stay with me?
02:06William smiled.
02:07If it comes to it, I'd rather become your food than let them take you away.
02:10Casey's heart ached.
02:11She knew men like William were one in a million.
02:13But before they could leave, soldiers ambushed them.
02:16William was struck by an arrow.
02:17As he lay bleeding, Casey lost control.
02:19Her rage boiled over.
02:21She unleashed her true, terrifying form.
02:23Soldiers fell one after another in a massacre.
02:25Hayakimaru felt her overwhelming darkness and attacked again.
02:28But even he was no match for her.
02:30Still, Casey's eyes turned back to William.
02:32He was fading fast.
02:33And she knew, if she didn't stop now, she would lose him forever.
02:36William grabbed her hand, weak but determined.
02:38Don't do this.
02:39Don't carry a regret you can never undo.
02:41Her fury melted.
02:42Her killing intent faded.
02:44Hayakimaru, seeing her restraint, lowered his blade.
02:46He let them leave through the only path out.
02:48In this world, good and evil exist in both humans and demons.
02:51The true test is learning how to tell them apart.
02:54So I'll ask you this.
02:55If you met Casey, would you protect her?
02:57Or would you destroy her?
