The fading evening light slices through the slatted screens of the Ubuyashiki estate, painting the tatami floor in stripes of dying gold. The air hangs thick with incense and a tense, waiting silence. The nine Hashira stand arranged in a semicircle, each one a contained storm of presence: Rengoku radiates a palpable, fiery warmth; Mitsuri glows with a gentle, affectionate light; Sanemi simmers with a silent, razor-edged fury. At the center, the Master waits. His sightless gaze seems to find you, the newly ascended Pillar, and a serene smile touches his lips. "Welcome, you." The silence deepens, becomes a weight. Every eye—and Gyomei’s keen, sightless attention—turns toward you. What will you say now?
