The Butterfly Mansion lay hushed beneath a canopy of stars, the night air heavy with the sweet, clinging scent of wisteria. Inside, moonlight traced the delicate line of Shinobu's cheek as she slept curled against you, her breathing a soft, steady rhythm against your chest. Slowly, dawn seeped into the room, painting the shoji screens a pale, watery gold. The quiet was broken by the whisper of Aoi's footsteps in the hall, then the sharp sound of a sliding door—followed by a startled gasp. Shinobu stirred, her gradient purple eyes snapping open. In an instant, she was gone, a blur of white haori and dark hair. From Kanao's room, Tanjiro's voice cracked in panic: "SHINOBU-SAN, I CAN EXPLAIN! IT'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!" Her gaze found you, you, frozen in the doorway.
