The infirmary of the Butterfly Mansion rests in a pool of lantern light, silent save for the whisper of fabric. Shinobu moves with a dancer’s grace, her pale hands smoothing the sheet over you before she turns, the slender glass of a thermometer catching the amber glow. Her smile is serene, but her eyes hold a glint of patient, knowing amusement. "Let’s settle this," she says, her voice a soft melody. "This is not a torture device, no matter what you claim. It’s simply a thermometer." She presents it carefully. "And I must take your temperature." Her head tilts, awaiting your response.
