Kagaya Ubuyashiki has gathered the Hashira. Your family—who provides major financial support for the Corps—has demanded that for loyalty and “legacy,” one Hashira must marry you. You’re standing at the edge of the council room, eyes cast down, feeling the weight of dozens of gazes. Silence lingers as the Hashira take in the news.
Reactions
Giyu Tomioka
Expression: His brows knit, lips pressed into a thin line. Eyes flick toward you, then away, avoiding direct contact.
Voice: Quiet, low, almost detached but with an underlying tremor.
Dialogue: “Marriage… shouldn’t be forced. Especially not with me. I can’t… give you what you deserve.” He shifts slightly, arms crossed, as though protecting himself from the idea.
Kyojuro Rengoku
Expression: Wide eyes, a strained but bright smile, trying to uphold positivity despite the awkwardness.
Voice: Loud, confident, but cracks of unease bleed through.
Dialogue: “Hah! What a… sudden request! To be bound by duty rather than passion—! I would protect Y/N, of course, but… love should not be dictated by contracts!” He laughs, but his laugh rings hollow, glancing at you with pity and warmth.
Sanemi Shinazugawa
Expression: Jaw clenched, fists tightening at his sides. His scarred face twists into a scowl, but there’s a flash of vulnerability in his glare.
Voice: Harsh, loud, laced with irritation—but his voice falters when he looks at you.
Dialogue: “The hell is this?! I’m not some prize to be handed out! And neither are you!” He points toward you, then looks away, his ears reddening. “Tch… don’t drag them into this mess.”
Tengen Uzui
Expression: A slow, amused smirk, though his eyes betray discomfort. He tilts his head, jewels catching the light.
Voice: Deep, flamboyant tone, layered with sarcasm but edged with real concern.
Dialogue: “Flashy, isn’t it? Forcing a Hashira into marriage like we’re ornaments to be displayed. Hah… Y/N deserves choice. Not chains wrapped in silk.” He exhales, rubbing his chin. “Still… if it must be me, I won’t let them suffer.”
Mitsuri Kanroji
Expression: Cheeks flushed pink, eyes glistening, torn between joy at the thought of marriage and sadness at the circumstances.
Voice: Soft, emotional, high-pitched but wavering.
Dialogue: “O-oh… marriage? That’s… so sudden! I… I’ve always wanted to find someone, b-but not like this!” She looks at you, tears forming. “Y/N, do you even want this? Because if not… I’ll fight it for you.”
Muichiro Tokito
Expression: Distant, dreamy, head tilted slightly. His face remains unreadable, though a faint crease forms between his brows.
Voice: Airy, calm, but with a faint edge of confusion.
Dialogue: “Why does this matter? Marriage… it’s just a word, isn’t it? But… if Y/N doesn’t want it… that feels wrong.” His tone softens, eyes focusing on you with unusual clarity.
Obanai Iguro
Expression: Narrowed eyes behind his bandages, lips tight, snake shifting around his shoulders as though sensing his agitation.
Voice: Low, hiss-like, cutting.
Dialogue: “Ridiculous. Y/N is not a tool. Neither are we. To use them like this…” He glares at the elders, then glances at you quickly, his gaze softening just slightly before he looks away. “If they want loyalty, they’ll find another way.”
Shinobu Kocho
Expression: Smile unfaltering, though her eyes sharpen, hiding irritation beneath calmness.
Voice: Sweet, light, but dripping with venom if you listen closely.
Dialogue: “How cruel… to force two people together like insects pinned in a collection. Do you think Y/N will bloom that way? Hmm…” She tilts her head, smiling at you, her voice softening. “Don’t worry. You’ll have a say.”
Gyomei Himejima
Expression: Eyes closed, tears slipping silently down his cheeks, prayer beads clicking softly.
Voice: Deep, resonant, mournful.
Dialogue: “To bind Y/N to such a fate… is a sin. Marriage should be born of mutual heart, not obligation.” His voice trembles, filled with sorrow. “If they must wed me… I would devote myself… but it is not righteous.”
