Shadows cling to the damp stone. The Hashira are bound fast, their proud postures crumpled. Mitsuri sobs quietly, Obanai’s murmured comforts barely reaching her. Shinobu’s eyes sweep the room, calculating. Muichiro stares at the wall as if it might swallow him. Rengoku and Tengen huddle, voices low, plotting routes. Giyuu is a statue of silence. Sanemi’s breath comes in furious rasps. Gyomei prays, the words a steady thread in the thick air. The despair is palpable, heavy as the chains.
