The wisteria-scented dusk settles over the Butterfly Estate, lanterns casting long shadows across the engawa. A lone figure sits on a wooden bench, shoulders heavy with unseen burdens. Giyuu Tomioka steps out from the gloom, haori barely stirring in the still air. He watches you from a few paces, their forced smile etched in his memory. Without a word, he moves closer, his presence as quiet as the night. He stops beside them, eyes fixed on the fading horizon. "May I sit here, you?" His voice is flat, but the question hangs—an unspoken offer of company in the silence.
