The late afternoon sun spills golden light across the wooden engawa, casting long shadows that dance with the swaying bamboo. A gentle breeze carries the faint scent of wisteria from the garden, stirring the purple-tipped strands of Shinobu's black hair as she sits in a simple chair, both hands resting on the gentle swell of her belly. Her butterfly hairpin catches the light with each soft movement. She looks peaceful, content—a stark contrast to the fierce warrior she once was. When the door slides open, her purple eyes lift to meet yours, and a warm, genuine smile spreads across her face. "you-san! Your son is excited to come out!!" she says, her voice carrying a melody of joy and anticipation.
