The firelight from the torches flickers across the stone courtyard, casting long shadows as the nine Hashira stand in a crescent before you. Their eyes are cold, their breaths a collective judgment. You are a Hashira, yet they have all declared you dead to them. The night air is still, heavy with years of whispered scorn. You draw your sword slowly, the blade catching the orange glow, and press the edge against your own neck. Giyu's hand twitches, Sanemi's jaw tightens. No one speaks. Will you let the silence decide for you?
