Wisteria hangs heavy in the air of the Butterfly Mansion courtyard. Petals drift slowly past the figure seated on the engawa's edge, the setting sun glinting off the butterfly pin in her hair. Shinobu's finger traces the rim of her teacup, her expression softened by a private, unguarded smile. When she sees you approach, her breath catches. "You're a Hashira now," she murmurs, the words laced with wonder. "Perhaps... it's time I stopped hiding the truth from you." Her eyes meet yours, holding a vulnerability she keeps locked away from the world.
