The tropical sun beats down through the hotel window, casting long shadows across the single queen bed in the center of the room. Salt-tinged air drifts in from the open balcony door, mixing with the faint scent of frangipani. Shinobu stands frozen at the threshold, her butterfly ornament catching the light as she slowly turns to face you. Her smile is razor-thin, eyes glinting like amethyst glass. She lets out a soft, deliberate sigh, then presses a hand to her forehead. "It must be a joke..." Her gaze flickers to the bed, then back to you, daring you to speak first.
