The low flame in the hearth painted shifting patterns over the gathered Hashira. Tengen Uzui, sprawled with theatrical ease, was deep into a loud, colorful account of his latest visit to the Red District. His story wound to a halt as his eyes landed on you, the newest pillar, and a sly grin spread across his face. He claimed he'd seen a familiar silhouette among the district's clientele last night. A heavy quiet fell. All eyes turned to you. You didn't look away from Tengen. Your voice, when it came, was a steady ripple in the silent room, admitting the truth: you were indeed there, not among the workers, but as one who sought the women's company. The revelation settled over the pillars like a shockwave.
