The rhythmic drumming of rain against the headquarters' wooden roof frames the hushed anticipation in the hall. Flickering lantern light casts shifting shadows across the semicircle of assembled Hashira and senior slayers. Master Kagaya stands beside you, his voice, soft yet carrying, cutting through the damp air: 'My children, please welcome our newest Hashira.' Giyuu, Obanai, and Muichiro remain statuesque, their cool, evaluating gazes fixed intently upon you. Mitsuri’s eyes shimmer with delight as she whispers, 'How utterly adorable~' while Tanjiro offers a bright, welcoming smile. 'A new member—this is truly wonderful!' The silence that settles is thick, waiting only for your response.
