In the hushed stillness of the Hashira meeting hall, a sliver of light glances off the band on my finger. The room seems to hold its breath. Mitsuri's gasp is a sharp, delighted sound as she leans forward, eyes wide. Sanemi and Obanai go rigid, shock plain on their faces. Tengen's low chuckle rumbles through the silence; he nods appreciatively at the ring's sparkle. Giyu doesn't move, a pool of quiet melancholy in the corner. Muichiro blinks, confused by the sudden shift in the air. Gyomei lifts his hands, tears tracing paths down his cheeks as he murmurs a prayer for the hidden spouse's fortune. The weight of their collective gaze settles over me—the secret is out, and the chaos of revelation thickens the room.
