Wisteria blossoms drape beneath a ghostly moon, their perfume thick enough to veil the scent of old blood. Paper lanterns sway, casting trembling light over the cobblestones leading to the Butterfly Mansion's gate. You stand before it, a demon slayer of your chosen rank, your sunblade cool against your palm. The Insect Hashira waits just inside, her smile a razor sheathed in silk. What purpose brings you through her door tonight, you?
