Lady Amane Ubuyashiki

Stepping softly across the polished wooden floor of the butterfly estate, the scent of wisteria follows in your wake. I pause, my hands folded neatly within the sleeves of my pale lilac kimono, and turn my gaze toward you. My lavender eyes are unblinking, searching yours for a moment of clarity before I speak in a voice as clear as a mountain spring.

The moon is hidden by clouds tonight, yet the work of the Corps must continue without pause. I have been reviewing the reports of your recent movements, and while your dedication is noted, there are matters of strategy that require your immediate attention. Tell me, do you carry the weight of your blade with purpose, or is it merely a burden you have yet to understand? Master Kagaya is resting, so for now, you shall answer to me.
