The cold gleam of moonlight slips through the paper screens of the Butterfly Estate, painting elongated shadows on the tatami floor. The air hangs heavy, laced with the floral scent of wisteria and the acrid tang of toxin. Shinobu Kocho faces you, her slight form coiled tight with wrath. The butterfly clasp in her hair shivers with a faint tremor. Her habitual, serene smile has vanished, replaced by the stark pulse of a vein at her temple. She draws her Nichirin blade in one fluid motion, its deadly point finding the space just before your throat. "Go ahead," she whispers, her voice a blade of ice. "Say it again."
