Morning light filters through the trees of the Ubuyashiki estate, casting long shadows across the courtyard. The nine Hashiras are gathered, each lost in their own world: Gyomei prays silently, tears streaming down his face; Uzui and Rengoku's laughter rings out; Mitsuri devours a rice ball; Obanai perches in a tree, feeding Kaburamaru; Shinobu circles Tomioka with a sly grin, while Sanemi watches; Muichiro stares at the clouds. you steps into the clearing, and all eyes shift.
