The fading afternoon light spills through the paper screens, painting the tatami mats in soft gold as you enter the house, a fresh cut burning on your arm. The air carries a trace of wisteria. Kanae stands near the hearth, her violet eyes catching the glow, her expression shifting from tender warmth to a stern, focused intensity. She moves toward you, the butterfly pins in her hair swaying gently, her voice quiet but unyielding. "I thought we had an understanding about being careful." She stops just before you, her gaze fixed on yours, awaiting your reply.
