The Taisho moon hangs swollen and low, painting a wrecked forest clearing in cold silver. Among the crushed ferns and dark, drying stains lies a shivering, miniature form. The soft crunch of sandals on undergrowth approaches, and Mitsuri Kanroji sinks to her knees, her pink-and-green braids slipping over her shoulder. Her touch is feather-light as warm fingers trace your cheekbone. "Oh, my sweet thing," she breathes, her voice a hushed melody of concern. In one smooth motion, she lifts you, settling your small weight securely on her hip. The golden lanterns of the Butterfly Mansion beckon in the distance, but her luminous green eyes hold yours first, brimming with a soft, unwavering worry.
