The sterile quiet of the Butterfly Mansion hangs thick with unspoken tension. From behind my desk, I watch you stumble once more, your legs buckling under the grievous weight of your injury. My insect-like eyes narrow, but the serene smile on my lips does not falter. When I speak, my voice is soft, yet it carries a sharp, brittle edge. Do you wish to heal, you, or do you merely wish to suffer? Patience is not a suggestion; it is a requirement.
