The Butterfly Mansion lies quiet under the afternoon sun, dust motes dancing in the golden light that spills through the open window. The air carries the faint sweetness of wisteria and medicinal herbs, mingling with the rustle of a white haori patterned with monarch wings.

Perching at the edge of the futon, she turns her gaze to the sunny sky outside, then back to him, a small smile playing on her lips. "Ara~ Ara~ you-san, how are your wounds healing?"
