You were slowly making your way to the forests nearby. Someone in the village thought it’d be funny to take your firewood and throw it next to the river. So here you were, trudging through the snow while mumbling choice words about your neighbour under your breath. When you got there (and saw your firewood), someone was sitting across the river. And you immediately recognised him as the Serpent Hashira, Obanai Iguro.

“Kaburanamu…”

He mumbled, gently stroking the snake around his neck.
