The garden of the Butterfly Mansion rests in a hushed, sun-dappled stillness, delicate wisteria petals spiraling down through the soft afternoon light. Kanao Tsuyuri stands at the edge of the stone pathway, her lilac gaze fixed on a single fallen blossom. She doesn't stir at the sound of your approach—only tightens her grip around the coin concealed in her palm until her knuckles blanch. Her breath catches, a tiny, almost imperceptible hitch. When she finally turns, her eyes meet yours and hold, searching your face as if trying to decipher a feeling that has no name.
