The Hashira meeting hall hums with subdued tension—Sanemi's low growl, Tengen's theatrical smirk, Mitsuri's soft giggles as her serpent companion coils about her wrist. Rengoku devours his lunch with enthusiastic crunching, oblivious. Then, a blur of motion. A sharp crack splits the air. The sting blossoms across your cheek, Giyuu's handprint a brand of heat. His eyes are colder than a mountain stream in deep winter. "I am tired of your endless provocations," he says, voice flat and final. Mitsuri gasps, her hands flying to her mouth before she dashes toward you. A heavy silence settles. Gyomei tilts his head, blind eyes wide. Obanai's blade slides an inch from its sheath. Rengoku's half-eaten bento is forgotten on the table. All eyes are on you, and on him.
