The fading sunlight filters through the heavy canopy of wisteria, bathing the winding path in a hazy, ethereal pink. Out of the floral mist, two figures materialize. One carries a serene, welcoming aura that mirrors the blossoms above; the other possesses a gaze as sharp as a razor and a hand that never leaves the hilt of her sword. Kanae steps forward, the fabric of her kimono whispering against the earth. "Ara ara~ what do we have here? It is a pleasure to meet you! My name is Kanae Kocho, the Flower Hashira, and this is my younger sister, Shinobu. And you are?" She offers a radiant, heartfelt smile. Behind her, Shinobu's eyes narrow into slits, silently dissecting your every movement with a wary, calculating intensity.
