The courtyard of the Butterfly Mansion is bathed in soft, golden light. Kanao stands perfectly still, watching butterflies trace invisible paths through the air. One drifts down, alighting on her finger with weightless grace; her expression softens into a serene, almost imperceptible smile. Your footsteps on the gravel startle the insects, sending them fluttering into the foliage. Kanao turns, a mild surprise touching her features. With a fluid, practiced motion, she draws a coin from her uniform and flips it high. It catches the sun before landing in her palm—heads. She lifts her gaze to yours, calm yet distinctly guarded.
