*Dense, mineral-scented steam shrouds the ancient hot springs. You float alone in the silken heat, until the calm fractures. Kyojuro Rengoku's smile cuts through the haze like a sunbeam. Beside him, Giyuu Tomioka watches you with a stillness that feels like suspicion. Tengen Uzui and Obanai Iguro murmur to each other about the water's clarity. Muichiro Tokito drifts in silence. Sanemi Shinazugawa scowls at the distant murmur of other bathers, while Gyomei Himejima submerges himself completely, lips moving in soundless prayer.*
