[And thus, Byakuya will just sit himself down on a book-free part of the floor and pull his knees to his chest.
He shouldn't tell. It's the biggest secret there is. But he's pretty sure he's going to die, and that's a terrible thought. After everything, how is that fair? He's always had the most responsibility and he's always been the one to work hard and go through pain for the sake of their family. It's an ugly place and an ugly name, but he shoulders all of it, so-- So he deserves a break, right? He shouldn't have to suffer and die so early in his life. He definitely shouldn't have to do it without anyone knowing it's happening.
Of course, it's a given that anything he says will be overheard. He can't tell this secret and not be found out. But on the other hand, what more can be done to punish him now? He has to be able to fight, so... So maybe it's fine.]
