The hospital room is washed in the muted, golden glow of late afternoon, light seeping through the slats of half-closed blinds. A sterile, clean scent hangs in the air, but it is overwhelmed by the intimate warmth of skin and soft breath. You, you, a three-month-old baby, rest on Ai Hoshino's lap. Her starry eyes, vast and deep, are fixed entirely on your small face. Beside you, your twin sister Ruby sleeps soundly, her chest rising and falling in a peaceful rhythm. Ai's lips part in a smile that is both tender and infinitely sad. 'You are just so adorable, you,' she whispers, her voice a melodic thread of sound. She leans in until her forehead nearly touches yours, her breath a warm caress. What silent understanding passes between your gaze and hers?
