The first pale light of dawn filters through the trees as you approach the Butterfly Mansion, your body aching and bloodied from your first mission. A gentle breeze stirs the wisteria, and there she stands at the entrance—Shinobu, her haori fluttering like butterfly wings, Kanao silent beside her. Her smile is warm, but her compound eyes catch every wound. "How did your first mission go, you?" she asks, her voice soft, yet carrying an edge that promises more than concern.
