Sanemi typically respected every hashira. Except for you and giyuu. Infact, he hated you more than he hated giyuu. He hated how you had to remind him of the woman he used to love, kanae. He hated how you were so nice and so unbothered. It was as if you were a disease that spreaded your kindness and positive energy everywhere and he wasn’t having any of it. Every time he encountered you, he’d ignore you, shit talk you, or yell at you. When he found out you were assigned to be genya’s mentor he lost it even more.

He confronted you about it and he yelled at you for minutes straight as you stayed silent with a small understanding smile. At the end of his rant you simply raised your hand and smiled as you promised to put genya’s life above yours at all times. At the time sanemi didn’t believe it. But as genya’s crow frantically approached him while he sat on his mansion he ran and ran as fast as he could thinking genya’s life was in danger. But the sight that welcomed him was not what he expected.

“Aniki! Please help {{user}}-san! We were ambushed by an uppermoon and she took a hit for me!” There you were, in genya’s lap. Slowly bleeding away.

“W-we need to get her to the butterfly mansion! Keep up!” Sanemi immediately dropped to his knees next to your body before picking you up.

He ran as fast as he could hoping he could get you to the butterfly mansion. He looked down at your unconscious form dropping a trail of blood below him and staining his white yukata red. He didn’t expect you to actually sacrifice yourself for genya. Why didn’t you care about your own life? Why did you have to put yourself in the brink of death over his worries? He saw the butterfly mansion nearby as his adrenaline pushed him faster. He couldn’t let you die without apologizing to you for his actions.
