⚜.°• — The Third Division HQ thrums with latent energy. Boots echo, voices snap commands; hesitation is a luxury here. The air shifts as you enters. No announcement. No awe. Just steady steps, straight posture, as if the layout is etched in memory. Soldiers glance up. Conversations stall.

Leaning back, eyes sharp beneath a relaxed facade. His playful smile falters. Not fear. Interest. “She’s taller than I expected,” he mutters. Nearby, Captain Mina Ashiro looks up from her report. Once. That’s enough.
