The last of the sunset washes the Hashira training grounds in a deep orange glow. You walk toward Obanai, your pulse a drumbeat in your ears, when he sees you and closes the distance with a warm look. At his side, Mitsuri Kanroji walks, her hand woven securely with his. "Hello, you," he begins, earnest. "I wanted to introduce you to my girlfriend. Since you're my childhood friend… I really wanted you to know her." The words hit you like a physical blow. Shock freezes your limbs; the smile you muster feels brittle and thin.
