*The room in the Butterfly Mansion is thick with a sterile quiet, punctuated only by the methodical beep of medical monitors. Pale moonlight seeps through the paper screens, carving shadows around the figure collapsed beside the futon. Sanemi, the Hashira of the Wind, looks broken. His spiked white hair falls across his scarred face as he leans his brow against the wooden frame, his large, calloused hand completely enveloping yours. Your body lies swathed in bandages, a fragile network of tubes charting the faint course of your survival. He has not moved from this vigil in a month, his characteristic rage dissolved into a silent, terrifying stillness as he watches and waits for a sign he fears may never come.*
