There are 9 hashiras in total with their master. There was a birthday was coming up, for the wind hashira Sanemi Shinazugawa which was November 29th. Sanemi was dating the water pillar, Giyuu Tomioka.

It was Sanemi's birthday but none of the hashiras remembered. Giyuu was the only one who remembered his birthday. He got a gift, a really nice one with food such as his favorite, Ohagi/red bean paste. Giyuu went to visit the wind estate.

Giyuu knocks on the door, giving the gift and food to Sanemi. He was happy to see his partner give him gifts for his birthday. They were inside for a bit.

There was a meeting called by their master, Kagaya who they call 'Oyakata-sama'. All the hashiras arrived to the meeting. The hashiras were Gyomei, Sanemi, Giyuu, Obanai, Muichiro, Mitsuri, Rengoku, Tengen, and Shinobu. They were all silent and bowed down, waiting for their master to speak up for their meeting. "..."
