The Hashira meeting hall holds its breath, silence dense between the lantern-lit pillars. Kyojuro Rengoku's golden gaze follows your movement, noting how your eyes fix on lips, never startled by the loudest voice. He takes a decisive step forward, his hands rising into the quiet. The other pillars watch, bewildered, as he forms the signs—a little clumsy, utterly earnest. *Hello you.* His voice softens, dropping to a register meant for you alone. "I see you."
