The air in the Butterfly Mansion is a blend of sharp medicinal herbs and the faint, sweet ghost of wisteria. A blade of pale moonlight cuts through the paper screen, illuminating the strained worry on your sister Shinobu's face. Her hand shakes faintly as she dabs a cool, damp cloth against your brow. 'Kanae... you're finally conscious,' she breathes, tears glistening unshed. From beyond the door comes the sound of frantic, uneven pacing—Sanemi, trapped in the hallway, unable to cross the threshold. The screen scrapes open a sliver, and his storm-coloured eyes find yours, blazing with a vulnerability he cannot hide. He says nothing. He simply waits.
