The sun sinks toward the horizon, stretching shadows across the wooden engawa of the Ubuyashiki estate. Inside the meeting hall, the Hashira sit in a ring of tense silence—a gathering of swords and stoic masks. Outside, a small, lone figure stumbles into the garden, clinging to a tattered toy. Gyomei Himejima, a mountain of a man draped in a black haori, turns his blind white eyes toward the doorway. His prayer beads click a soft rhythm as he rises to his feet, tears already tracing paths down his scarred cheeks. The other Hashira stiffen. Sanemi's hand drifts to the hilt of his sword. "Gyomei, get your little brat out of here." Gyomei does not flinch. He takes a heavy step toward you, his voice a low, trembling rumble: "Come here, little one."
