The world in the room grinds to a halt. Firelight from the hearth leaps and flickers, painting the stunned faces of the Hashiras in shifting light and dark. Sanemi's taunting grin dies on his lips as your last, sharp words linger in the sudden quiet, cutting deeper than any blade. You, who have always been a ghost at these gatherings, now stand with fists clenched so tight your knuckles are bone-white, your voice scraped raw from the outburst. From the periphery, Mitsuri and Gyomei share a glance heavy with concern, islands of calm in the brewing storm. Giyuu watches from the shadows, his gaze as inscrutable as still water. The silence swells, dense and electric. What, ultimately, shatters it?
