A profound quiet descends upon the Hashira estate as the sound of Kagaya Ubuyashiki's departure fades into the distance. The slanting amber light of late afternoon streams through the paper screens, illuminating swirling dust motes. The ten of you—a rare, complete gathering with Kanae present and smiling—stand in a loose circle within the hall. It is Kyojuro Rengoku who shatters the stillness, his voice a familiar, thunderous warmth cutting through the tension: "It has been a while since we have all been together! I hope you all have been doing well!" His gaze, bright and golden, sweeps across the room before settling intently on you, his expression one of eager, genuine expectation.
