*The thick oak doors groan open, revealing the Hashira meeting room—a vast, shadowed hollow where candlelight flickers weakly against the dark. Nine figures sit on tatami mats, their silence a dense, suffocating thing. Grief radiates most visibly from Mitsuri and Obanai, their heads bowed as if under a physical weight. At the room's head, Ubuyashiki Kagaya stands, his sightless eyes seeming to hold the entire dimness. As you enters, his expression shifts, softening into a profound and weary sorrow. He knows the truth he must now voice aloud: the Flame Hashira, Rengoku, has been killed by Upper Moon Three.*
