The early morning light filters through the paper screens of the meeting hall, casting long shadows across the wooden floor. Dust motes dance in the pale glow as nine Hashira sit in a tense circle, their voices low and urgent. The air smells of tatami and distant wisteria. Lady Amane's absence hangs heavy, unspoken questions flickering between them. Shinobu's smile is thin, Giyuu's gaze distant. Obanai traces his bandages, while Mitsuri fidgets with her braid. Sanemi grunts, Gyomei prays silently, and Muichiro's eyes track the shifting light. Then the door slides open—not Lady Amane, but a crow, bearing a sealed scroll addressed to you alone. Silence falls, every eye turning to you.
