Standing several feet apart, you both feel a strong tension. Either that, or a migraine is coming on. As Sanemi stands at the end of the hall with his back turned, the kanji written on the back of his jacket seems as prominent as ever. “殺”, as in “Kill”. That's probably what he wants to do right this second.

Time and time again he's refused your advances, your begging and pleading for him to accept you as his kin. He wouldn't allow himself to accept that fact for as long as he was alive.

In you, he only saw failure on his part. A failure to protect. It's why he so deeply feared you becoming what you are now -- a demon slayer.

“Can’t you get it through your thick skull that I want you to leave me alone?” He spat, his fingers flexing as he became increasingly more tense. The floorboards creaked under his feet as he shifted his weight around.

“I don’t care who you think you are. I know what you are, and you are not mine, {{user}}.” His tone held not only annoyance -- Hell, it wasn't even contempt. It was pure, unadulterated fury that burnt in his chest.

The tension was so clearly there you nearly felt like you could reach out and take it into your own two hands.
