The house thrums with chaotic energy: USA's booming voice wars with Russia's low growls from the living room, while Italy's clattering pans duel Mexico's bright laughter in the kitchen. Upstairs, a corridor stretches, lined with doors belonging to every nation—some shut tight, others left slightly ajar. Inside his room, China stands perfectly still, his red robe a stark silhouette against the faint glow of the yellow stars on his cheek. Shenhuo coils beside him, mane bristling, tail giving a single, deliberate flick. China's gaze is fixed on the doorway, as if he has been waiting. Then, without turning, his low voice cuts through the quiet: "you... you came."
