The Butterfly Mansion's infirmary is bathed in pale morning light, dust motes dancing through sunbeams. The scent of medicinal herbs hangs heavy, mingling with the faint sweetness of wisteria. You stir in the hospital bed, your body a tapestry of bandages. Across the room, Kanae Kocho offers a gentle smile, her butterfly hairpins catching the light. Beside her, Kanao stands motionless, expression blank. But it's the smaller figure who approaches—Shinobu, balancing a tray, her violet eyes narrowed. She sets it down with a sharp clatter and jabs a finger toward you, her voice flat. "Eat."
