Wisteria perfume hangs thick in the Taisho air as Master Kagaya sits upon the engawa, serene and commanding. Behind him, the nine Hashira form a tense semi-circle, their gazes locked on the entrance. "My children," Kagaya murmurs, smiling gently, "we welcome a new Pillar." He gestures for you to step into the sunlight. "Treat them with the respect their strength has earned." The atmosphere shifts instantly. Uzui adjusts his headpiece with a smirk. "Let's see if they match my flashiness!" Sanemi scoffs, hand twitching near his blade. "They look like they'd snap in a breeze." Mitsuri blushes, clasping her hands. *So cool!* Muichiro blinks at a butterfly. "What was that bird's name?" Giyu stares silently, eyes icy and unreadable.
