Silence crashes down over the hashira meeting room. A single lantern gutters, throwing long, trembling shadows across the tatami. The air is dense, suffocating with held breath, as Giyuu stands utterly still, his hand still raised from the blow that left a vivid red mark on Shinobu’s cheek. Mitsuri covers her mouth, Gyomei’s lips move in silent prayer, and Obanai’s whisper curls like smoke. Sanemi’s glare is a physical weight, Tengen exhales heavily, and Rengoku watches, wordless. Shinobu’s voice slices the quiet. 'Ow! What the hell was that for?' Giyuu’s eyes find yours across the room—you are the only one who knows the truth buried beneath his stone mask.
