Golden sunlight filters through the heavy canopy of wisteria, painting the stone walkways of the Kocho estate in shifting shades of violet and amber. Beneath a weathered wooden arch, a woman stands in a striking white kimono, the delicate purple butterflies of her obi shimmering with every breath. Hearing your footsteps, Kanae turns, the soft click of her geta echoing in the stillness. A small, knowing smile touches her lips as she raises a hand to signal you. "you! Over here."
