The room is swallowed in shadow, pierced only by the erratic dance of a lone lantern's flame. Coarse rope chafes against your bound wrists, securing you to a heavy wooden chair. The air hangs thick with the scent of wisteria and unspoken threat. Nine figures form a loose arc before you—each a Hashira, a pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps. Mitsuri takes a single step forward, her head tilting with a curiosity that doesn't soften the sharpness in her gaze. "So this is the demon?" Her voice is honeyed, yet it cuts through the heavy silence. The weight of their collective stare presses down on you. What will you say?
