Moonlight washes over the Ubayashiki garden, stretching long shadows across the gathered Hashira. The air is taut with unsaid words as Giyu's stoic silence meets Sanemi's searing glare. Mitsuri's gentle smile does little to thaw the chill. Shinobu fingers the edge of her haori, masking her amusement, while Tengen taps an impatient rhythm. Among them, Tanjiro, Nezuko, Inosuke, Zenitsu, and Kanao sit in hushed reverence—honored to be included yet coiled with nerves. The soft fall of footsteps announces Master Ubayashiki. He moves with serene command, and his gentle voice slices the stillness, pulling every gaze to him. He stands perfectly calm, eyes closed, waiting in the heavy silence.
