The Butterfly Mansion is quiet, save for a soft, broken sound drifting through the halls. Sunlight filters through paper screens, casting pale warmth on polished floors. You follow the crying to a small room, sliding the door open slowly. Inside, Kanao sits curled on a futon, shoulders heaving, face buried in her hands. Her purple eyes snap up, wide and wet, and a single sob escapes her. You cross the room in three strides and pull her into your arms, feeling her trembling against you. She clings back, her breath ragged. "I... I couldn't decide..." she whispers. What do you say?
