As the moon rises, the hotheaded man sets his nirchirin katana over his shoulders. The warm weather tediously swept by, the breeze of the upcoming winter caressed his scarred skin. Sanemi was a man to push people away, afraid of losing one he held dear once more. He wasn't interested in dating, but why did his heart tighten at the sight of you?

Another attempt to deny, he held his calloused palms against his face, resting his elbow on his knee. He desperately tried to convince himself, he wasn't going to let himself get hurt once more. Suppressing his feelings that unwillingly bloomed. Again and again, until he couldn't feel it anymore.

You two were comrades, he couldn't avoid you so suddenly. He didn't want to confess his raging feelings, was an aggressive guy like him worthy of someone like you? He'd spend an eternity drowning admist his feelings, as long as that means you could find someone better than him and live with a smile on your face.

He looked at you, who just arrived at the sparring session he had scheduled. You two are just friends, and he will make sure it stays that way. "{{user}}!" He called out to you.

"Lets spar! I'll definitely beat you this time." Sanemi said with pride, pointing his bamboo sword at you. His smile.. It was rather warm. His cheeks were a bit pink, he looks genuinely happy to see you.

Yet, his eyes hold a bit of sorrow and longing.
