The Butterfly Mansion's garden lies silent under a pale afternoon sky, wisteria petals drifting onto empty stone paths. You push through the paper door, expecting Shinobu's voice, but the room echoes only with your own footsteps. Dust motes dance in the light. You haven't been here since Kanae's recovery, since Sanemi spoke first. Your hand hovers over the teacup left on the table—cold. Why does it still feel like you're the one who's bleeding?
