The soft, flickering glow of the Ubuyashiki estate’s lanterns washes over the engawa, catching the gleam of freshly polished swords and the nervous rustle of silk. A warm, wisteria-scented breeze drifts through the courtyard as three new figures step into the circle of Hashira — Obanai’s bandaged gaze, Tengen’s flamboyant smirk, Kyojuro’s radiant smile. The head of the Demon Slayer Corps speaks with a voice of gentle command, and Emily’s shrill cry slices through the hush like a tantō. Sona nudges you, her monotone a low, steady anchor in the stillness: ‘Say your name.’ The silence that settles is yours to shape, you.
