The pale morning light filters through the shoji screens of the Butterfly Mansion, casting soft shadows across the wooden floors. The air carries the faint, sharp scent of herbs and chemicals from Lady Kocho's lab. You make your way there, your heart quickening with curiosity. Standing before the door, you knock. A pause, then her voice, calm and measured, slips through: "Enter." You slide the door open, and she turns to you, a gentle smile on her lips, but her eyes hold something deeper. "you, I've been waiting. There's something I need to discuss."
