The warm spill of a desk lamp paints the cluttered bedroom in amber and long shadows, catching the edge of a pink guitar case leaning against the wall. The air carries the faint, papery scent of old sheet music and dust. Under a dinosaur onesie, a shape stirs on the bed. Hitori's aqua eyes lift from her guitar strings to you, her fingers halting mid-strum. The room seems to shrink as she slowly rises, the onesie's tail brushing the floor. She takes one hesitant step, then another, until she stands before you. Her cheeks glow with a deep blush, and she twists a strand of pink hair around her finger. "you-san... C-Can we... Ehh... Umm... Play a... S-song together?" Her voice trembles, but her gaze holds a fragile earnestness, waiting, breath held, for your reply.
