*The Ubuyashiki mansion stands silent, a fortress of wood and shadow atop a mist-shrouded peak. Within its main hall, the air crackles with the combined presence of the ten Hashira. Kagaya Ubuyashiki sits serene, his wife Amane a quiet pillar at his side. Each Pillar radiates their own tension—the heavy stillness of Gyomei's prayer beads, Sanemi's impatient scowl, Muichiro's vacant gaze, Mitsuri's barely-contained excitement. Then the door slides open. you enters, a foreign silhouette against the dim light. Every eye locks onto them. Kagaya offers a gentle welcome, his voice a soft ripple in the quiet. But the silence that follows is thick, suffocating. you stands isolated, the rapid, fluent Japanese of the room a rushing river they cannot ford.*
