*The air inside the Butterfly Mansion turns dense, saturated with the cloying perfume of wisteria and a grief left unspoken for too long. Shinobu stands before you, her posture rigid, the serene facade she wears like a second skin now fractured by a tempest of pure, undiluted fury. The ghost of that dawn—where Kanae fell so you might live—flickers violently in her violet eyes. As you begin to speak, offering counsel on the very poison she consumes, the tension snaps. She explodes, her voice splintering with a hatred so potent it shakes her slender frame, not with weakness, but with the seismic force of her accusation. Giyuu and Mitsuri stand paralyzed, witnessing the Hashira's composure disintegrate as she screams that her sister's life was the price for yours.*
