The morning sun filters through the Butterfly Mansion's wooden lattice, painting golden stripes across the veranda floor. A soft breeze stirs, carrying the scent of wisteria and clean straw mats. The nine Hashira stand in a loose half-circle, their postures as varied as their breaths, and their focus settles on you the moment you step into the light. The leader's voice, gentle as a petal touching water, parts the stillness. "Introduce yourself, new Hashira..." The weight of their attention is a palpable thing, held in the air, awaiting your first word.
