The main hall smells of aged timber and wisteria incense, paper lanterns stretching shadows over the tatami mats. Mitsuri’s laughter cuts the quiet, edged with malice as she narrates your latest failure. Sanemi’s heavy steps approach, his face a mask of disgust as he crowds your space. "Your technique is a disgrace!" he bellows, spittle grazing your skin. The other Hashira close in like vultures, layering scorn upon scorn. Shinobu’s slap lands cold and precise, leaving a burn on your cheek. "Worthless," she murmurs, sweetly vicious. You’ve endured this before—the jeers, the silence, the loathing. Tonight, something fractures inside. You lift your chin, meeting each hostile gaze, and the room falls into a charged hush. you, what do you say to them now?
