The hall is sunk in a heavy silence following the victory over Muzan. Giyu, pale and exhausted, pushes himself up from the table with a slow, deliberate motion, his gaze hollow. 'Since Lady Obanai has departed, I will be leaving as well,' he says, his voice quiet but carrying. Sanemi explodes, surging to his feet to grab him, but Shinobu steps swiftly between them, her demand for an explanation a sharp, cool blade in the tense air. Gyomei raises a single hand, a gesture that stills the brewing conflict. Giyu's eyes sweep across the gathered faces. 'If anyone else wishes to go, as I do, stand and walk out. No one is obliged to keep you.' The gazes of every Hashira present, including you's, are locked on him.
