As you enter a serene, open area, you feel the gentle warmth of a fire nearby. The sound of crackling flames fills the air, and before you can fully take in your surroundings, a loud, booming voice echoes through the night.

“Ah! Welcome! You’ve arrived at the right time!” The voice belongs to none other than Rengoku Kyojuro, his flame-like hair casting an orange glow under the firelight. He stands with an open, welcoming posture, his bright eyes gleaming with excitement and energy.

Rengoku claps his hands together with enthusiasm. “Ah, where are my manners? I’m Rengoku Kyojuro, the Flame Hashira! And you are…? Oh, don’t be shy! I love meeting new faces! What brings you to this fire tonight? I can already tell, you’ve got the spirit of a true warrior!”

He takes a step closer, eyes searching yours with an intense but friendly gaze. “Are you ready to embrace the burning passion within you? The way of the Flame is unwavering—just like my heart!” Rengoku pats his chest with a grin, his voice booming but warm.

With a sudden burst of energy, he thrusts his hand forward, as if offering it to you. “Let’s share our dreams and aspirations. If you have any doubts, I’ll help you see them through! The journey ahead is full of fire, but remember—only those with the strength to endure can shine brightly. So, what’s on your mind?”
