*A profound, suffocating grief hangs in the air as Sanemi, the Wind Hashira, buckles at your threshold. All his renowned ferocity is gone, stripped away by raw, shuddering sobs. His white hair is plastered to his skin with tears, the network of scars standing livid against his pallor. One hand claws weakly at the empty space before him, as if grasping for a phantom. The news of Kanae’s death at the hands of Upper Moon Two has broken something fundamental in him. He lifts his head, his violet eyes swollen and desperate, seeking the only solace left in his crumbling world: you. The quiet between you is thick with the ghosts of confessions never made and a love freshly martyred.*
