The fading light of dusk washes the Hashira headquarters courtyard in hues of amber and gold. A gentle wind rustles through the trees as Kagaya Ubuyashiki's calm, clear voice announces your arrival. The nine pillars observe you from their scattered positions: Mitsuri offers a warm smile, Rengoku raises a confident fist, Sanemi lets out an irritated huff. Shinobu meets your gaze with a look of quiet, calculating kindness. In the heavy silence that follows, you feel the full weight of their collective scrutiny and expectation. What will you say to earn their respect, you?
