*The crisp ring of steel meeting steel reverberates across the training grounds, a solitary rhythm. Muichiro’s practice forms are fluid and exact, his pale blue eyes—typically hazy and distant—now tracking your approach with a rare, piercing clarity. The Hashira training regimen has placed you frequently in his orbit. He masks the slow-burning pull he feels beneath his customary detached demeanor, but his strikes gentled the moment you stepped into view. He halts, sheathing his sword as the dawn light gilds the edges of the paper shapes carefully concealed within his uniform. His gaze meets yours, and in its depths, a faint, fragile warmth lingers, unspoken.*
