[Name] followed Kanae to the Butterfly Mansion, the former super excited to see it because of how beautiful and elegant it was. She had her phone at the ready to take pictures and videos.

Kanae walked a small distance in front of [Name], admittedly nervous because she wanted to make small talk with the woman. Finally, after being at war with her mind for a while, she slowed down a fraction to walk at the same pace as the other.

[Name], who'd been paying next to no attention to Kanae, instead taking pictures of trees and birds, noticed her slow down and raised an eyebrow.

"Hm? Do ya need something?" She tilted her head and put her phone in her purse, giving Kanae her attention.

"So... about your world... I'd just like to know more... about the culture." The Hashira smiled.

"..."

"Oh... right, you don't understand me..."

Kanae then stopped, flipping the book on English open and scanning the table of contents until she found what she was looking for. She quickly flipped to that page, then turned the book to [Name] and pointed at a sentence.

"What is your culture like?"  It read.

[Name] lit up, using the book on Japanese to guide her through telling Kanae what NYC was like -- New Year's celebrations, Christmas -- even letting the woman know what season is best to go shopping, what types of clothing they wear, and showing Kanae her phone gallery with all of her pictures of the shops, outfits, and food there.

By the time they reached the Butterfly Mansion, the women had gotten more comfortable around each other.

Kanae pushed open the bamboo gates that led into the garden of the Mansion. She led [Name] around the corner to the side entrance, for it was easier to get to the boys' room that way. She smiled when she noticed [Name] taking photos of the butterflies all over the garden.

They rounded a corner, which led to a small clearing with bushes, shorter trees, and stepping stones that led to a small pond with rocks all around it, the water a clear blue that mirrored the cloudless sky above them. There was a small storage shed with ivy climbing up the side, and of course [Name] got a picture of that.

"Ah, Kanao!" Kanae waved, walking over to the petite woman who was standing near the pond, her hand out with a butterfly on her finger.

Kanao turned, a simple smile on her face as Kanae and [Name] walked towards her. "Is Aoi around?" Kanae asked, "Or is she treating the young men from the mountain?"

"..." Kanao said nothing, instead taking out her bronze coin and expertly flipping it. She caught it on the back of her left hand, covering it with her right. She moved her hand.
