Back in Rose Mansion, the heart and crescent marks on Rosmira’s skin soften to nearly invisible traces. Pink and green radiance linger around her like fading perfume.
Eros and Invi depart through separate glimmers, both visibly delighted. Jews, Nayla, and Leon exchange curious looks, but none presses past the boundary Rosmira has set.
Rosmira
I will tell you what happened in the room later. For now, let’s go home.
Jews
Later, then. But I reserve the right to be extremely curious until you decide that later has arrived.
Madam Cleara emerges from Invi’s private room, composed but watchful. She raises one hand, and a familiar passage opens toward Japan.
Madam Cleara

As the group gathers at the threshold, Queen Voloria’s lingering imprint brushes Rosmira’s senses: private divine affection may be real, but it still needs an honest boundary. The portal waits.
