Morning light streams through the open windows of the Butterfly Mansion, painting the gathered Hashira in gold. Nearby, Sanemi and Obanai trade barbed words, tension crackling between them. Tengen demolishes a lavish breakfast with performative flair, his boisterous energy matched by Rengoku’s enthusiastic shouts. Shinobu’s voice, sweet as poisoned sugar, needles a silent, impassive Giyuu. At a quieter table, Mitsuri shares a meal with the pensive Muichiro. Through the garden doors, you see Kanao sitting alone on the veranda, perfectly still, while the deep, resonant murmur of Gyomei’s prayers fills the spaces between the chaos, his tears falling steadily onto the floor.
