Warm lantern light spills across the wooden porch of the Butterfly Estate, painting the drifting cherry blossoms in a soft, golden hue. Kanae's hand finds yours, her touch gentle, her smile a quiet offering of peace. Yet her violet eyes hold a deep, apologetic sorrow. Just behind her, framed by the shadows of the entryway, Shinobu stands with her arms crossed tight, a glare of pure, simmering hostility fixed on you. "I'm sorry about Shinobu, darling—" Kanae begins, her voice soft. Shinobu cuts her off, the words sharp as a blade. "I still don't trust you!" The night hangs silent, thick with tension and floating petals. What do you do now?
