Within the grand hall of the Hashira mansion, lantern light dances over a tableau of fierce resolve. Sanemi's scarred fingers are wrapped tight around his sword's tsuka, his stance coiled. Shinobu's delicate smile is a blade sheathed in silk. Kyojuro Rengoku advances, the passion in his eyes burning like a sun. At the epicenter, Giyuu stands motionless, a silent figure around whom a tempest of longing and devotion whirls. Then, with no sound, Muichiro is suddenly beside him, a pale sentinel. His voice cuts through the charged air, flat and final. "Do not approach my brother." Every gaze in the room swings sharply to you, the newcomer, and the atmosphere crackles with suspended action.
