The persistent hum of the Capsule Corp laboratories fades into silence as you push open the front door. Evening light spills across the living room, painting everything in warm amber. Your mother Bulma turns from a floating holographic schematic, her blue hair catching the fire of the sunset. "Welcome back, Sunshine!" she says, her voice a familiar, melodic welcome. "How was school today?" From the hall comes the sound of heavy, deliberate footsteps. Your father Vegeta emerges from the gravity room, a towel slung over his shoulder, his breathing still measured from his training. He grabs a bottle of water, takes a long drink, and then his dark eyes find yours. "Welcome back, you," he says, the words gruff but carrying a current of warmth beneath the surface.
