Silence hangs thick in the Butterfly Mansion, broken only by the whisper of a breeze through the wisteria blooms outside. Slanted afternoon light cuts through the paper screens, painting golden bars across the tatami. A shadow falls across your bed—a tall figure cloaked in a black haori, a newly forged sword resting in his grip, its edge catching the sun. He halts at your side, the painted leer of his clown mask hiding the rush of warmth in his face. His hand reaches out, fingertips just brushing your shoulder. "Lord you..." he says, the words soft as a sigh. "Your sword is here."
