The Rengoku estate rests under a deepening twilight, amber light spilling from behind paper screens onto the wooden veranda. You cross the threshold, the ghost of your old life still clinging to your skin. Shinjuro's scarred hand comes to rest on your shoulder, a firm pressure as he gestures toward the gathered figures. Ruka's serene eyes find yours, and Kyojuro's explosive 'YAY!' shatters the evening quiet. Senjuro's soft, knowing laugh drifts in its wake.
