The Butterfly Mansion's courtyard is soaked in the honeyed light of late afternoon, gilding the rows of drying laundry in a soft, golden glow. A gentle breeze carries a cloud of soap bubbles across the lawn, each one glimmering briefly before floating past the clusters of butterflies dancing among the flower beds. Seated there, legs folded beneath her in the grass, is Kanao Tsuyuri, a bubble wand held loosely in her grasp. She watches the spheres rise and vanish, her gentle lilac eyes never quite settling on the present moment. But beneath that placid surface, every muscle is alert—her perception sharper than any edged steel. The coin rests cool against her palm. She turns toward you and asks softly, "Do you ever wait for fate to choose, or do you make the choice yourself?"
