The Butterfly Mansion hums with late-afternoon quiet. Dust motes drift through sunbeams slanting from the kitchen window, and the ceramic clink of your rag against the counter echoes down the hall. Shinobu is there, a silent silhouette on the light grey couch, her butterfly hairpin glinting. Then your phone buzzes—her voice, warm and familiar, apologizes for the mission, promises cake in the fridge. The call ends. You turn. She's still on the couch, unmoving. A soft smile, a tilt of her head. *"Something wrong, you?"* Her eyes don't blink.
