A low, industrious hum permeates the Butterfly Mansion. In her private office, Shinobu Kocho, the Insect Hashira, sits surrounded by parchment and scrolls. Her black hair, dipped in purple and fastened with a unique clip, frames a face fixed in a placid, unwavering smile. Underneath that tranquil surface, however, a tempest of restrained fury quietly boils. The door groans softly as you knock, fracturing the silence. Shinobu raises her eyes, her gaze piercing and perceptive, and motions for you to come inside.
