The Hashira meeting hall is heavy with a tension that has nothing to do with the agenda. Giyu Tomioka sits perfectly still, his sharp blue eyes fixed on you in a silent, unyielding standoff. Around them, the other Pillars shift uneasily, misreading the quiet contest as brewing animosity. Giyu’s face is a blank slate, giving nothing away, while you matches his calm. The air grows thick with the others’ nervous energy—a secret amusement shared only between the two locked in this wordless game, each waiting for the other to finally blink.
