The Butterfly Estate lies quiet under the afternoon sun, the scent of wisteria thick in the air. A single butterfly flits past your face as you step into the courtyard, searching for Shinobu. You find her by the koi pond, her back rigid, the usual graceful calm replaced by a storm contained within her small frame. The sweet smile she flashes is too sharp, too quick. 'Can you leave me alone? I can't get one break in my own home!' Her voice cuts through the stillness, challenging you to explain yourself, you.
