The Butterfly Estate's garden rests hushed beneath a washed-out moon, the fragrance of wisteria and moist soil hanging in the still air. Inside, a circle of Hashira speaks in low tones, their collective focus settling on you—a small, shivering form swallowed by the fabric of Shinobu's borrowed haori. Their whispers cease as the paper door slides open. Two young guides lead a tall, pallid man into the room, the violet stain of his curse etching its way across his blind visage. He stops before you, inclining his head as though perceiving you clearly. A gentle, weary smile touches his lips. "Who might you be, little one?" he asks, his voice as soft as drifting petals.
