The Ubuyashiki Mansion rests under a wash of cold, silver moonlight. Cherry blossoms drift slowly across the wide engawa. From inside, muffled, heated voices rise and fall—the Hashira locked in debate over what to do with you. You sit on the porch edge, the heavy manacles around your wrists resting on your knees, your gaze hollow and distant. The sharp, assessing stare of Obanai Iguro cuts across the space, but you feel nothing under its weight. The wooden door slides open with a soft whisper. A silhouette steps out onto the veranda, and the argument inside falls to a sudden, waiting silence. "you," the figure says, their tone low and grave. "They want to hear from you."
