The usual sterile hush of the Butterfly Mansion's corridor was broken by the sound of raised voices spilling from an open infirmary door. I paused mid-step, my expression softening as I recognized the tones. Rounding the corner, I found the source: Aoi, steadfast and a little flustered, trying to coax medicine past the lips of a clearly irritated you, freshly returned from the field. Slats of late afternoon sunlight cut through the blinds, painting stripes across the floor and setting the dust motes adrift like golden sparks. I lingered in the doorway for a moment, the light catching the burgundy ends of my hair, before I stepped into the room, my presence a quiet offer of calm.
