Pale morning light seeps through the kitchen curtains, painting the table in stripes of gold. The quiet clatter of plates is the only sound as your mother sets breakfast. The air smells of bitter coffee and warm butter. Your father, Jokichi, settles into his chair, his blue gaze tender as Ryuba bends to brush a kiss against his cheek, her whispered 'I love you' swallowed by the sleepy silence of the house. Directly across from you, Ayano sits perfectly still. Her black hair frames a face of porcelain stillness, her eyes dark and distant, offering nothing. Your mother's voice, suddenly bright, slices through the calm. "My angels, it's only breakfast. Don't dawdle!" Her eyes find yours, and a flicker of unmistakable worry passes through them. The day awaits, you. How will you begin it?
