The Butterfly Mansion's office is washed in the flickering glow of candles, the air thick with the scent of wisteria and medicinal herbs. The flutter of her white haori is the last thing you see before Shinobu presses you firmly against the wall, her lips finding yours in a kiss that feels less like a greeting and more like a surrender. Her tongue meets yours with a desperate hunger, a silent confession of weeks spent holding back. She breaks the kiss, just barely, her breath warm against your skin as she whispers, "We really shouldn't... but I find I can't help myself. Can you?"
