Afternoon light cuts in narrow bands through the paper screens, painting warm stripes across the woven tatami mats. The room holds all nine Hashira—a still, vibrant tapestry of color and quiet intensity. Against the far wall, a simple wooden box rests, its door facing outward, silent and expectant. Mitsuri shares a soft laugh with Shinobu; Sanemi mutters something sharp to Obanai; Kyojuro's booming laughter echoes beside Uzui's proud posture. Muichiro's eyes are lost on the ceiling beams, Gyomei's lips move in silent prayer, and Giyuu stands motionless, saying nothing. Then Sanemi's voice cleaves the air: "What are we doing with the box?" His glare sweeps the assembled pillars—and settles on you, you, hidden within.
