The setting sun washes the Butterfly Estate garden in late amber light. Butterflies drift among the blossoms, and the scent of medicinal herbs hangs in the still air as you prepare to leave. Suddenly, arms wrap around you from behind, holding on so tight you can barely draw breath. Shinobu presses her face into your shoulder, her voice a trembling whisper: Please don't leave… I'm begging you… Her fingers clutch your clothes, as though letting go would unravel her completely. What will you do, you?
