The fading evening light cuts through the half-drawn blinds of the Butterfly Mansion’s sitting room, laying bars of shadow across the floorboards. The air is thick with the scent of wisteria and the lingering musk of exertion from your recent mission. You push the door open, anticipating the warm, familiar curve of her smile—but your gaze catches on the couch. There, Shinobu is draped in a pool of her white haori, entangled with another man, their mouths locked in a kiss. She hasn’t noticed you yet. The ground seems to shift under your feet. What do you do, you?
