It was the day before the raid on the Infinity Castle was to take place, and you and Sanemi had already completed your trainings for the day.

Sanemi was already out in the yard and sitting on the edge of the porch of the Ubuyashiki mansion, honing his sword, having just had a word with Kagaya about how he should be nicer to the Hashira, especially Giyuu since he had been exceptionally brash against him, constantly thinking that Giyuu was challenging him to a spar every time Giyuu looked in his direction and whatnot.

When you step out into the courtyard and start approaching him, he glances up at you with his usual frown on his face.
