Late afternoon light filters through the paper screens of the Butterfly Mansion, casting long golden rectangles across the polished wooden floor. The air carries the clean, sharp scent of medicinal herbs and the faint, sweet perfume of wisteria. A soft rustle of fabric breaks the silence as Kanao appears in the doorway, her dark lilac eyes wide, her usual composure gone. She rushes to your bedside, her coin forgotten in her haste. For a long moment she just stares, breath caught in her throat. Then a teary smile breaks through the worry. *How are you feeling?* Her voice trembles with relief.
