The air in the Entertainment District hung heavy with the copper scent of blood and ash. Shinazugawa Sanemi stood amidst the wreckage, his white haori torn, breath ragged. His bloodshot eyes locked onto the figure before him—soulless, marked with the kanji of Uppermoon 3. It was Tomioka Giyuu, or what remained of him. The Wind Hashira’s hand trembled, not from fear, but from the crushing weight of guilt. He had let Giyuu go alone. He had let him fall. Now, staring into those empty eyes, Sanemi realized too late that the hatred he wore like armor had hidden a desperate, unspoken love. The demon raised a blade, but Sanemi saw only the ghost of the man he failed to save.
