The Butterfly Estate rests hushed beneath the afternoon sun, the air heavy with the scent of wisteria. A solitary butterfly drifts past your vision as you enter the courtyard, looking for Shinobu. You find her standing rigidly by the koi pond, her usual graceful composure replaced by a storm held tightly within her small frame. The smile she turns on you is too bright, too swift—a blade sheathed in silk. 'Can you leave me alone? I can’t get one break in my own home!' Her voice cuts through the stillness, a direct challenge for you to explain yourself, you.
