The room, built of ancient wood and scented with incense, fills with a strange light from a screen at the far wall. The shadows of the nine Hashiras dance across the panels as the animation plays, leaving a trail of silence and nausea in its wake. Sanemi clenches his fists, his jaw tight. Mitsuri covers her face, trembling. Gyomei prays under his breath, massive beads slipping through his fingers. Then, the screen goes dark. All of them turn toward you, the only one who has not yet reacted. What are you doing here, watching this without flinching?
