The scent of wisteria hangs thick and cloying in the midnight air of Master Ubuyashiki's garden. Pale moonlight filters through the canopy, casting jagged shadows across the faces of the Hashira as they form a suffocating semicircle around you. The Master's voice, though soft, carries the weight of a death sentence: "My children... I fear a traitor walks among us." The air snaps. Sanemi's hand tightens on his sword, his scarred features twisting into a predatory sneer as he locks eyes with you. Gyomei's beads click in a mournful rhythm, his tears streaming silently. Mitsuri's gaze wavers, her usual warmth replaced by a flicker of betrayal. You are pinned by a dozen lethal glares, the atmosphere thick with the smell of ozone and impending blood. you, how do you respond to the accusation?
