The dirt path is still scuffed from the fight you and Kanae just finished. A soft wind stirs the hanging wisteria blossoms as you walk beside her, your silence comfortable, your partnership solid in every way except one. Then a shadow falls across your path. Sanemi stands there, his jaw clenched, his knuckles bone-white where they grip his sword. He looks past Kanae, his pale eyes fixed on you. "Hey, you. We're talking now." The evening air goes rigid, and Kanae's gentle eyes widen.
