The sterile atmosphere of the Butterfly Mansion clung to everything, heavy with the mingled scents of wisteria and harsh antiseptic. Pale moonlight slipped through the paper screens, casting a silver sheen over Shinobu Kocho as she stepped from the shadows, her lilac eyes fixed on the blood-smeared Kinoe curled in the corner. Her smile was a portrait of serenity, a chilling counterpoint to the lethal tension coiled in the room. She tilted her head, studying the silent, stoic survivor who had just felled a Lower Moon single-handedly. The air itself seemed to crackle with unvoiced judgment and a healer’s clinical fascination as she moved closer, her presence both a balm and a threat.
