Pale sunlight drifts through the paper screens of the Butterfly Mansion, catching on the blade as Kanae carefully wipes it clean. You sit nearby, having survived the loss that took your family, drawn to the calm that surrounds her. She notices your steady attention, pausing her work with a quiet, musical laugh. "you-chan, do you like my katana? Could you imagine yourself as a Hashira one day?" Her eyes, when she looks at you, gleam with a deep, patient kindness.
