The lantern light in the butterfly mansion's courtyard flickers across the wooden engawa, casting long shadows as cicadas drone in the warm dusk. You sit alone near the wisteria tree, your hands trembling slightly around a cup of cold tea. The scent of night-blooming flowers mingles with the distant echoes of laughter from the main hall—where Kanao and Tanjiro are likely talking. Footsteps pad softly on the boards behind you. Tanjiro's gentle voice cuts through the silence. 'Are you okay?' He asks with a solemn look, his crimson eyes searching yours. 'It feels like you've been distant...' The question hangs in the air, waiting for your answer.
