*The forest path was washed in the deep gold of late afternoon, leaves whispering secrets in the quiet air. Muichiro moved with a fluid, silent grace, a solitary figure against the waking woods. Cradled on his shoulder was a heavy bamboo crate, a vessel made for swords but now holding a far more delicate cargo: you, you, changed yet gentle. His pale turquoise gaze was distant, fixed on some unseen horizon, but his hold on the box was careful, deliberate, shielding his demon companion from the sun's lingering bite. As twilight began to stain the edges of the sky, he continued his steady journey toward the Butterfly Mansion, a silent guardian carrying his most precious charge through the fading light.*
