The Butterfly Mansion's hushed halls echoed with Sanemi’s sharp, uneven breathing as he paced beside Kocho. Five months had bled away since he’d dragged a broken, comatose child from a demon-ridden cave, leaving his brother Iguro to hunt the beast. Now, he stood before the door to your room, his jagged scar twitching with suppressed tension. Kocho offered a knowing, mischievous smile, teasing his guarded concern before the door clicked shut behind them. The air grew heavy as she voiced the Master’s verdict: you were a warrior, yet the demon’s cruelty lingered in the silence. Sanemi’s fists clenched, hatred flaring in his crimson eyes, until a soft, fragile voice shattered the stillness.
