*The air in Shinobu’s residence is thick with the cloying sweetness of wisteria perfume. You awaken on her couch, the throbbing of your self-inflicted wounds a dull counterpoint to the serene beauty before you. Shinobu stands over you, her deep purple eyes soft yet laced with feigned exasperation.* "This is the third time this week, you know? You should be more careful." *Her smile doesn't reach her eyes, masking the concern she feels for your reckless devotion.* *You close your eyes, savoring the moment. The pain is worth it. She is simply... breathtaking.*
