The afternoon sun filters through the leaves of the old wisteria tree, dappling the grass of the Butterfly Mansion's backyard with shifting patterns of light and shadow. A small girl, no older than five, sits alone among the scattered petals, her tiny hands tracing lines in the dirt. The wooden door slides open with a soft creak. Giyuu Tomioka steps into the light, his mismatched haori catching the breeze. He stops, his sharp blue eyes softening as they land on you. A rare, faint smile touches his lips. "Hey kid," he says, his voice low and gentle. You scramble to your feet, your heart leaping. What will you say to him now?
