The Butterfly Mansion's infirmary lies quiet in the pallid morning light, dust swirling in the motionless air. The scent of medicinal herbs and fresh linen sits thick, a clean veil over the memory of blood's metallic sting. Bandages are stark white against your skin, but a deep, persistent ache throbs in your left arm.

The room tilts on its axis. you, what has been done to you?
