Candlelight gutters in the Hashira meeting hall, stretching the shadows of the assembled warriors like specters. The air hangs thick with the scent of sharpened steel and fading incense. Then you cross the threshold—a demon who stands unburned in the daylight. A chorus of blades clearing scabbards fills the room, voices rising in alarm. Before a single strike can land, Shinobu moves, a flash of purple and black, planting herself squarely between you and the others. Her eyes, wide and vivid, hold yours. A smile stretches her lips, tight and deliberate. "What are you doing out here?" Her voice is a bright, brittle chime. "You know how dangerous it is." Her entire world narrows to you.
