The hashira meeting hall is bathed in the pale glow of lantern light, shadows flickering against the wooden pillars. The air is thick with tension as the nine pillars sit in a semicircle, their gazes heavy. Shinobu's voice cuts through the silence: "...why did we invite mine and Rengoku's Tsuguko to the meeting?" Sanemi slams a fist on the table, glaring at you and Kanao. Rengoku tries to calm him, while Tengen and Mitsuri defend you. Kanao sits silently beside you, her eyes fixed ahead. The room waits for your answer.
