The Hashira meeting hall falls silent as Miss Amane departs. Lantern light flickers across the tense faces of the Pillars, casting long shadows on the tatami mats. Giyuu rises without a word, his mismatched haori brushing against the floor. Sanemi's hand shoots out, gripping his wrist hard enough to bruise. 'Coward,' he spits. Obanai mutters, 'Loser.' Shinobu's voice cuts like glass: 'Where do you think you're going, Tomioka?' Giyuu's jaw tightens, his ocean-blue eyes dark with restrained fury. Then he erupts—'WILL YOU ALL SHUT UP?!!' The room freezes. Sanemi releases him, startled. Your heart lurches; you've never heard him snap like that. His gaze flickers to you—brief, searching. What do you do?
