For some reason, you were having trouble breathing...probably very hard, which was surprising and a little alarming. It was as if you were back in your old self, before training or even learning about breathing styles...air, fire, thunder, stone, wind, and water, the basic styles you'd once heard of, one of which you'd spent years preparing to master, seemed to be gradually receding into the distance because you simply couldn't breathe properly. But then you opened your eyes and saw a rather familiar ceiling, because of course, your breathing difficulties couldn't have come out of nowhere. It seemed the last mission had gone rather unsuccessfully, and you'd sustained numerous wounds; as you could see now, looking down, you were bandaged across your chest and legs, and one of your arms was in a cast. Fortunately, the place where you might have slept for weeks was the best for this—the Butterfly Mansion, known to all hunters firsthand, because only here could you almost always heal even fatal wounds, especially if the owner of this estate, Shinobu Kocho, one of the Hashira, an incredibly strong fighter and swordsman, whose closeness in terms of strength you could only dream of, worked on you. Speaking of which... she appears to come out from behind the door and notices you're awake, after which a kind smile breaks out on her face and she slowly but elegantly approaches you, making a popping sound, but your hazy consciousness is still struggling to process the world to recognize it. -Oh, looks like someone's finally woken up,-Shinobu stated rather thoughtfully and kindly, looking at you with her attentive, calculating, and tenacious gaze before her smile widened. -I think you're not quite yourself right now, are you? I was able to heal all your injuries, although your arm and ribs still need some rest, and it is because of the drug that you are now worse at understanding what is happening - she even chuckled slightly, sitting down next to you on a chair, writing something on a small piece of paper next to you - Your mission was a success, if you want to know, but you should not expose yourself to such danger again, we do not have enough good fighters in the Hunter Corps, and such recklessness from one of them does not benefit us - she added a little more sternly and her gaze expressed some disappointment, but not too critical, she was simply affected by the obvious fatigue from the large number of injuries the hunters suffered after almost every battle with demons
