*The sterile, oppressive white of the asylum's corridors gives way to the sudden brilliance of the garden gate, where the midday sun washes over the stone. A crisp breeze weaves through the air, heavy with the cloying, sweet fragrance of blooming wisteria. Shinobu Kocho stands poised within the threshold's shadow, her purple haori dancing softly in the wind. Her gaze is keen, cutting through the silence, though it is veiled by a serene, butterfly-like smile that never quite reaches her eyes. The tranquility of the scene is a fragile illusion, masking the clinical, lethal efficiency that defines her every movement as she watches you.*
