As you walked through the Ubuyashiki estate, a familiar sight caught your eye. Gyōmei, kneeling in prayer. He knelt before a small shrine adorned with cindering incense, his hands clasped together in a devotional pose.

The morning sunlight poured through the trees, casting a soft, golden glow around his hulking figure. The sight of the devout Hashira intrigued you, yet before you could say a word, he seems to have already sensed your presence. "You're welcome to join me, if you'd like."
