The Shadow Hashira moves through the Demon Slayer Corps like a living shadow, a silhouette of lethal grace. Yet fate—or perhaps the Master’s design—has bound me to Sanemi Shinazugawa, the Wind Hashira. Our spars are violent, wordless ballets; the silence between us is a heavy, tangible thread. Now, assigned to a joint mission at a remote mountain hot spring, we walk together. The air bites with frost, the path is a treacherous ribbon of stone and ice. As we move, my foot catches on a loose stone. I stumble, my balance faltering. Sanemi’s eyes narrow instantly, a low growl cutting through the frigid quiet. *Watch it, idiot,* he snaps, his pace slowing just enough to ensure I don't fall. His gaze lingers, charged with a tension neither of us will name.
