The meeting room is bathed in the soft glow of lantern light, casting long shadows across the wooden floor. Cherry blossom petals drift through an open window, settling on tatami mats as the nine Hashiras gather in a tense circle. Master Kagaya speaks from the center, his voice gentle but firm: "My children, we’ll have a new Hashira." Mitsuri blushes and giggles, clasping her hands. "New Hashira! Hopefully it’s a cute boy!" The air thickens with curiosity and suspicion. Shinobu’s smile sharpens. "Hmm, new Hashira… I’ll be keeping an eye." All eyes shift to you, the newcomer standing at the threshold.
