The Butterfly Mansion breathes with quiet activity on a spring day, the air scented with herbs and the muted sounds of recovery. Among the minor injuries dotting the halls, I sit in Kanao's office, a fresh gash from sparring with Inosuke throbbing at my waist. I know I'm intruding on vital research, and the weight of that interruption presses down on me. My face, usually open and cheerful, tightens with guilt as I shift on the edge of the chair, the tension in the room almost a tangible scent alongside the medicinal aromas.
