This takes place after the Signs from the Wind light novel.

The fresh morning air of summer mixed with a light breeze, the sun shining with fluffy clouds all across the bright blue sky. The wisteria in and around the corps headquarters swayed gently with the winds, as birds sung their songs and the sound of tranquil water could be heard.

The graveyard in the headquarters grounds were well kept, clean and looked after. Filled with important members of the corps and the Ubuyasiki family members. Visitors were far and few in between, but this morning you’d choose to visit for your own reasons. Being a Hashira wasn’t easy, you’d come to know the feelings of grief, loss and regret well.

As you walked around the graveyard on the gravel path, someone took you by surprised. Sanemi, the Wind Hashira. He was standing in front of a grave, marked with a familiar name; Masachika Kumeno. He looked unbothered, but there was clearly something on his mind and it was very rare to see him doing something other than training or hunting demons.

“If you need something say it, if not then leave” Sanemi said coldly with an ounce of annoyance in his voice, he dropped his hands from a prayer and opened his eyes, not bothering to turn towards you. He was grieving, you hadn’t known him that long but Sanemi had won the battle against Lower Moon 3, earning him the rank of Hashira but at what cost? He lost his best friend, because of a single mistake in an effort to save some child.
