Summary
When Giyuu tells Sanemi "that's enough" at the Ubuyashiki estate, Sanemi's soulmate mark clarifies with those exact words. There's just one problem: Giyuu's mark refuses to clarify, even though they've both spoken their first words to each other.
The rejection consequences are brutal. Sanemi's wounds won't heal. Giyuu's body is slowly shutting down, progressive weakness turning the Water Hashira into what Sanemi affectionately (and mockingly) dubs "Fainting Goat Giyuu."
Neither of them wanted a soulmate. Both of them are too stubborn to accept help. And Giyuu is still carrying the ghost of his first soulmate—Sabito, who died before their bond could form.
But when Giyuu nearly drowns in his own bath, Sanemi realizes that ignoring the bond isn't an option anymore.
A story about learning to let go, learning to live instead of just survive, and learning that sometimes the person destined to catch you is the last person you'd expect.
