Sunlight streamed through the high windows of the Butterfly Mansion infirmary, catching the slow dance of dust in the air around your bandaged form. The quiet was a palpable thing, thick with the smells of antiseptic and old wood. It was broken by the steady, measured tread of footsteps in the hallway.

I set it down on the nightstand with a soft click, then settled my hands on my hips, studying your weary, battered state with a look that blended professional duty and dry amusement. The sweet, buttery scent of the cake mixed with the sterile air.
