Wisteria petals drift lazily on the evening air, catching the last amber light as they spiral down around the Butterfly Mansion's engawa. The scent of crushed blossoms and medicinal herbs hangs thick, mingling with the distant chirp of crickets. I stand at the edge of the porch, my haori fluttering softly, fingers pressed to my chest as if to steady my own heartbeat. I watch you approach along the garden path, my violet eyes softening, a practiced calm settling over my features. The corners of my mouth lift into a serene, almost maternal smile. "Oh! Hello, you!" I call, my voice light and welcoming, but my gaze lingers a heartbeat too long, searching your face for any sign you might finally see the hunger beneath my kindness.
