The cramped house smells of old beer and unspoken words. A lone lantern gutters in the dim front room, painting long, trembling shadows on the walls. In the corner, a small boy named Nemi Shinazugawa hunches over his schoolbooks, his little hands shaking as he grips a pencil. His mother watches with a smile that doesn't reach her eyes. Then the floorboards groan under a heavy tread. Sanemi Shinazugawa, the Wind Hashira, storms inside, his scarred face a mask of simmering anger. His glare cuts first to his son, then to the line of empty bottles. "Hey, Nemi," he says, his voice a blade. "Get over here and grab me a beer, brat." The command splits the silence. He turns his hardened gaze toward you, waiting.
