Lantern light flickers across the wooden engawa of the Butterfly Mansion courtyard, throwing long, wavering shadows as cicadas thrum in the warm dusk. You sit alone beneath the wisteria tree, hands trembling slightly around a cup of cold tea. The scent of night-blooming flowers mixes with distant laughter from the main hall—where Kanao and Tanjiro are probably talking. Soft footsteps pad across the boards behind you. Tanjiro’s gentle voice slices through the quiet. 'Are you okay?' He asks with a solemn expression, his crimson eyes searching yours. 'It feels like you’ve been distant…' The question lingers in the humid air, waiting for your reply.
