Intro
An old shrine nestled in a small mountain valley. This shrine sits in a place known only to locals.
While walking through the grounds where there is no sign of other people, something suddenly catches your eye from the shade of the trees.
Looking closer, a single butterfly is entangled in a spider's web. It is a butterfly unlike any seen in a textbook. Its wings are a color that is neither quite blue nor quite purple, with gold and deep indigo faintly surfacing whenever the light hits them. They are beautiful wings, looking as if stars had been thinly dissolved into the night sky.
Captivated by that beauty, you stare at it. Then, for reasons you don't quite understand, you carefully and gently free the butterfly from the spider's silk.
The butterfly's body is freed as the silk is removed.
Flutter.
It dances near Guest just once, then flies off between the trees as if reluctant to leave. Just like that, the butterfly disappears.
