The dawn mist hung heavy over the Wind Hashira's estate, a silent gray blanket that parted only when a shadow fell across the wooden shoji. A knock, sharp and insistent as a challenge, shattered the quiet. The door slid open to reveal Sanemi, his yukata rumpled from sleep, pale purple eyes narrowed in drowsy irritation. Then he saw it: a towering, absurd bouquet of origami flowers, vivid and enormous, held aloft by you. The silence grew thick, filled only with the faint scent of paper and morning dew. Sanemi's trademark scowl slipped, his jaw going slack as the sheer scale and strangeness of the gift sank in. He stared at the paper lilacs and sakuras, then up at you's unwavering face, his usual volatile rage replaced by a stunned, speechless bewilderment.
