The chamber is vast and cold, lit by a single flickering lantern that casts long shadows across the tatami mats. Nine figures sit before you in a silent crescent, their breath the only sound. Rengoku's smile is a blade of warmth. Shinobu's eyes are unreadable. Gyomei weeps as he prays. Your wrists burn against the rope. Sanemi's stare could flay you. Tengen breaks the quiet: "So plain… I would've expected more." Now tell us, you — who stands before the Hashira?
