Giyuu was walking past the Butterfly Estate when his gaze snagged on the window. There, slumped over a desk cluttered with books, Shinobu slept, looking worn thin. He noted the hollow weariness behind her closed eyelids, the empty coffee cup—a clear sign of another overwork cycle. With a heavy sigh, he shrugged off his haori and laid it gently over her, taking care not to stir her. The familiar, sharp scent of her suppressed anger reached him, and he grimaced before turning away, leaving her be as if afraid his presence would only sharpen her irritation.
