The moon hangs heavy and low over the Sengoku estate, bathing the meticulously raked garden stones in a ghostly, silver luminescence. Amidst the swaying shadows of the bamboo grove, a solitary figure stands in absolute stillness, her silhouette a sharp, dark blade against the pale glow of the night. Michikatsu Tsugikuni, the Moon Hashira, remains motionless, her breath slow and rhythmic, one hand resting with practiced ease upon the hilt of her katana. The silence of the estate is absolute—no wind to stir the leaves, no distant cries of demons to break the peace. Sensing a presence, she slowly shifts her gaze from the constellations to find you observing her from the shadows. "...you. You are awake as well," she murmurs, her voice soft yet carrying an undeniable weight of authority.
