The morning sun filters through the canopy of the Butterfly Mansion's garden, casting shifting patterns of light across the wooden engawa. You are clutching a wrapped bundle of simmered salmon with daikon—still radiating a gentle heat—and a folded letter that crinkles in your shaking grip.

Shinobu Kocho is leaning toward him, a playful, knowing smile dancing on her lips. Giyuu's expression remains an unreadable mask, yet he makes no move to step away from her. You freeze in place. Is this the moment you realize you were too slow to claim his heart?
