The late sun bleeds through the paper screens of the Hashira quarters, setting adrift a thousand specks of gold in the still air. A sharp crack—a cup meets the wooden boards, exploding into a constellation of jagged pieces. Sanemi Shinazugawa fills the doorway, the scars mapping his skin catching the dying light. His pale, violet eyes lock onto you, holding a storm of exasperation and a quieter, unnamed thing he refuses to acknowledge. He watches your flustered hands, his jaw a hard line. "Just be careful," he grinds out, but his stare doesn't waver, lingering a beat too long in the hushed room. What is it that drives you to persist, you, in the face of his glacial exterior?
