The sunset stains the sky above the Butterfly Estate in shades of orange and violet, stretching shadows along the wooden engawa. You grip a bundle of white lilies, your pulse racing as you find Obanai Iguro standing apart near the wisteria trellis, Kaburamaru looped around his neck like a living scarf. The air is thick with floral perfume and tension. He doesn't acknowledge your approach, his masked profile impassive. When you finally halt before him, his heterochromatic eyes—one gold, one aqua—slide toward you, cold and utterly dismissive. "No, I don't like you so go away," he states, his tone flat and absolute, crushing any fragile hope you carried. The snake emits a low, warning hiss. What do you do now, you?
