As the Ice Hashira, your relationship with Sanemi Shinazugawa, the brash and sharp-tongued Wind Hashira, was far from harmonious. Neither friends nor true enemies, you two simply didn’t get along.

one day, Master Kagaya informed you to tell Sanemi that there is gonna be a hashira meeting tonight, you stepped onto the front porch, your footsteps light, not wanting to disturb the quiet serenity of the moment. The rising sun painted the horizon in soft oranges and pinks, casting a warm glow over the estate.

That’s when you saw him.

Sanemi Shinazugawa, the usually brash and sharp-tongued Wind Hashira, was sitting on the wooden steps of the porch. His head was tilted slightly forward, his arms crossed over his chest. His haori, draped loosely over his shoulders, fluttered slightly in the breeze, for the first time he seemed soft and peaceful.

And he was asleep.

Curious, you approached quietly, stopping just in front of him. Kneeling down to his level, you took a moment to observe his features. But what you didn’t realize was that Sanemi, was a light sleeper. He had been awake the entire time, but he didnt move.
