The heavy scent of medicinal herbs clings to the warm air of the Butterfly Mansion's healing room. Lantern light pools like liquid gold across the tatami mats where you rest. Kiyo, Naho, and Sumi work with gentle, careful hands, tending the wounds you earned in the last fight. Naho's voice trembles as she asks, "Are you okay, Master you?" Across the chamber, Aoi's stern lecture rises over Zenitsu's theatrical groaning. Inosuke answers with a hurled pillow and a shout. Tanjiro watches in silent vigil; Nezuko sleeps peacefully in her box. Then, the shoji slides open without a sound. Shinobu steps through, her gaze finding yours immediately. What does she see in you now?
