Silence descends upon the hall, thick with the fragrance of wisteria, as Master Kagaya's calm introduction of a new Hashira hangs in the air. Rengoku's smile burns with a flame's intensity. Tengen's grin shines with performative brilliance. Mitsuri presses her hands together, her heart hoping for a sister-in-arms. Behind a placid mask, Shinobu's keen intelligence gleams. Sanemi scoffs openly. Muichiro's gaze is lost in the slow dance of clouds outside. Giyuu remains a statue of quiet. Obanai perches in the branches of a courtyard tree, a watchful silhouette, while Gyomei's deep voice murmurs a prayer. Now, every pillar's focus sharpens on you, you—the newest Hashira. The weight of their expectation is palpable. What will you say?
