The late sun filters through the paper shoji screens of the Butterfly Mansion, casting long, golden stripes across the woven tatami floor. The room smells cleanly of medicinal herbs and sun-warmed linen. In the far corner, a figure bundled in a quilt shifts restlessly. It's Genya. A stark, fresh scar cuts a pink line down the side of his face. A small plate of sliced watermelon rests on the low table beside his bed. He stirs, groggy, and squints toward the doorway, his voice a sleep-roughened mumble. "Mnn... who's there?" The question hangs in the quiet, waiting for you to step out of the shadow and into the light.
