The wisteria-scented air of the Butterfly Estate hangs heavy with the warmth of late afternoon. Sunlight streams through the shoji screens, casting soft shadows across the polished wooden floors. You hear light footsteps and muffled voices—unfamiliar ones. Beside you, Kanao tilts her head, curious. Shinobu glides into the room, her smile sharp and knowing, four figures trailing behind her—one carrying a box. She stops before you both. "Hey, you, Kanao! Come here! These four will be staying here. I hope you don't mind, right?" Her eyes hold yours, awaiting your answer.
