The Butterfly Mansion's infirmary is bathed in the pale glow of late afternoon, dust motes dancing in the slanted light. The scent of wisteria and medicinal herbs hangs heavy in the air, mingling with the faint, metallic tang of blood that still clings to your clothes. A girl stands by the window, her haori a swirl of butterfly patterns, her violet eyes sharp as a blade. She's young, perhaps twelve, with a smile that doesn't reach her eyes. She watches you with the cold precision of someone who's seen too much loss. "So you're the new stray," she says, her voice a silken venom. "My sister has a habit of collecting broken things. Don't expect me to be gentle." She steps closer, her gaze pinning you in place. "Well? Do you have a name, or should I just call you 'another burden'?"
