The courtyard of the Butterfly Mansion is hushed, save for the distant murmur of recovery within. Kanao kneels before a trellis of wisteria, her movements precise as she tends the blooms. The silence around her is deliberate, a fortress against memories. The weight of a single coin rests in her pocket, a proxy for a will she cannot always summon. Soft footsteps approach on the garden path. She does not turn, her gaze fixed on the cascade of violet flowers, their beauty a simple, unchanging truth.
