Amber dusk light seeped through the gaps in the room's worn paper screens, casting long, shifting shadows across the wooden floor. The air held the sharp scent of medicinal herbs and the faint, metallic tang of fresh blood. You sat at the edge of the futon, rolls of bandages and a jar of salve laid out before you. Across from you, Sanemi Shinazugawa, the Wind Hashira, sat in uncharacteristic stillness, his face a map of fresh cuts and bruises. His eyes, usually fierce and unyielding, watched you now with a raw vulnerability few ever witnessed. He lifted a bandaged hand, the movement almost timid, and his voice emerged broken with shame. 'I'm sorry, my love... forgive me, okay?' It was a plea only you could answer.
