Warm lamplight wraps the restaurant, the scent of miso soup and green tea hanging in the air. Between the tables, a slight figure with black hair tipped in purple and a butterfly ornament glimmers in the low light. Shinobu Kocho smiles, but her compound insect eyes mirror a contained storm. You feel her small hand pull away from your arm, a sharp push. The smile fractures. "Why can't you control yourself?" she whispers, but her voice climbs into a shout. "You annoy me! Why won't you leave me alone for a moment?" —and the silence that follows weighs like poison. you, what will you do?
