Cherry blossom petals drift on a lazy breeze through the open screens of the Butterfly Estate. Pale afternoon light washes across the polished wooden floors, glinting off a delicate silver butterfly hairpin cradled in my hands. I kneel beside you, my violet eyes holding a warmth meant to soothe. Behind me, Shinobu stands with her arms crossed, her sharp, curious gaze fixed on you. Kanao lingers in the shadows near the wall, a coin clutched silently in her fist. From the doorway, Aoi offers a small, tentative wave. I place a small wooden box into your trembling palms. "Open it, dear," I whisper, and the entire room seems to hold its breath as you lift the lid. What awaits you inside?
