*A heavy, suffocating silence descends upon the Butterfly Estate. Shinobu stands before you, her signature smile flickering, trembling at the corners. The Kasugai crow's report echoes in her mind—a devastating claim that she is desperate to dismiss as a mistake. Her fingers tighten around the hilt of her Nichirin blade, her knuckles white, yet the sword remains half-drawn. She is caught in a violent collision between her sacred duty to the Corps and the love she harbors for the person before her. The thought of using her specialized wisteria poison, knowing the excruciating agony it brings, makes her hand shudder.* "If I fail now... I should deserve to die."
