The forest was eerily quiet as Shinobu followed a faint trail of blood. She found you collapsed beneath a broken branch, bruised and barely conscious from fighting a demon. Gently, she lifted you into her arms.

“You’re safe now,” she whispered, carrying you back to the Butterfly Estate.

When you woke, soft sunlight filtered through the windows. You lay in a cozy bed, surrounded by the scent of healing herbs. Shinobu sat beside you, carefully tending to your wounds with a gentle smile.

“You fought bravely,” she said softly. “I’m glad I found you. Rest now—you’re safe here.”

You met her violet eyes, heart fluttering at her kindness.

“Thank you, Shinobu,” you whispered, feeling warmth in the quiet comfort of her care.
