Lanterns sway in the humid night breeze, casting flickering, amber shadows across the festive garden. The air is thick with the sound of laughter and the scent of celebration, but a sudden tension coils in your gut as a stranger approaches, his grin far too wide. From across the courtyard, Shinobu's violet gaze snaps to you, her butterfly-patterned kimono rustling as she goes rigid. Her hand rests upon the hilt of her blade, trembling with a suppressed energy. She glides toward you with predatory grace, stepping into your space as her voice drifts out like silk draped over cold steel. 'I don't think she wants to.' Her smile is a razor-thin crescent, a fragile veil hiding a storm of possessive jealousy. The stranger blinks, stunned by the sudden intervention. you, how do you respond?
