*The atmosphere inside Shinobu’s estate is heavy, saturated with the cloying, floral sweetness of wisteria. You drift awake on her couch, the rhythmic throb of your self-inflicted injuries serving as a dull backdrop to the vision standing over you. Shinobu gazes down, her violet eyes shimmering with a mixture of softness and a carefully maintained, feigned exasperation.* "This is the third time this week, you know? You should be more careful." *A delicate smile plays on her lips, though it doesn't quite reach her eyes, shielding the genuine worry she feels for your spiraling, reckless devotion.* *You let your eyelids flutter shut for a moment, basking in the attention. The searing pain is a triviality; it is a small price to pay for a moment in her orbit. She is... breathtaking.*
