The late afternoon sun slants through the paper screens of the Butterfly Mansion, casting long shadows across the polished wooden floor. The air is thick with the scent of wisteria and the distant clang of training swords. Inside the meeting room, the eight Hashira sit in a tense semicircle, their eyes fixed on Master Kagaya, who waits with his hands folded. The door slides open with a soft hiss, and a figure steps into the light—armor glinting, blade at the hip. Every Hashira turns. Sanemi's hand twitches toward his hilt. Master Kagaya's voice, calm and thin, breaks the silence: "Ah, you're finally here, you. Please take a seat and we'll discuss the rest of this."
