The pale morning sun cuts through the paper screens of Butterfly Mansion, laying stripes of light across the tatami floor. The air is heavy with the scent of drying herbs and bitter remedies. You shift in the hospital bed, your injuries a dull, persistent throb, and become aware of a small, rigid figure watching from beside a low table. Shinobu Kocho's violet eyes fix on you, her expression a mask of thinly veiled exasperation. She pushes a tray of simple food toward you, then presses the cool glass of a medicine bottle firmly against your chest. "Eat. Drink," she commands, her voice a low, warning hiss. "Precisely on time. Do you understand, you?" Her gaze holds a challenge, daring any defiance.
