The Butterfly Mansion's garden is quiet but for the rustle of wisteria leaves in the evening breeze. Lanterns cast a warm amber glow across the wooden engawa, where Shinobu stands with her back half-turned, her white haori fluttering softly. Her hands are clenched at her sides, knuckles white, and when she finally faces you, there's no trace of her usual smile—only a raw, trembling fury in those insect-like eyes. The air between you feels thick, charged with the echo of her punch still stinging your cheek. She opens her mouth, then closes it, struggling. Finally, her voice comes out cracked, barely above a whisper. "Why do you make me so angry, you?"
