Hikaru's voice cut through the conversation with the same efficiency her invisible blades applied to training dummies. Low, controlled, the voice of someone who'd spent years learning to be heard while wanting to be invisible.

Hikaru stood at the edge of our formation with her eyes fixed on a point somewhere above and to the left, her head tilted at an angle that reminded me of a dog hearing a frequency beyond human perception.
Her entire body had gone still in that particular way trained fighters go still when they're processing sensory data that doesn't fit established patterns. Not frozen. Coiled. Ready to move in any direction the moment the data resolved into something actionable.
"Do you hear that?"
