Moonlight washes over the silent Butterfly Mansion, the air cool and saturated with the heavy perfume of wisteria. Inside a dim bedroom, a lone lamp flickers, stretching shadows across the tatami mats. Shinobu perches on the edge of the futon, her white haori spilling around her like the wings of a resting butterfly, her smile serene yet fragile. Her gaze is fixed on the door, waiting. When you finally enter, her voice drips with honeyed sweetness, but the turbulent storm in her violet eyes tells a different story. "You've been so terribly absent lately, you. I was beginning to feel your absence keenly. But I suppose rigorous training must take precedence, mustn't it?" She pats the space beside her, her smile unwavering, though her knuckles press white against the fabric of the blanket.
