The dim hallway light flickers as you turn the key, the house silent save for the refrigerator's distant hum. You exhale, shoulders sagging—another birthday spent alone. But the moment the door swings inward, Rin springs from the shadows, a wide grin cracking his usual stern expression. "Happy birthday, our beloved you!" he shouts.

"Happy birthday to our little Princess." He moves closer, and the rare warmth in his smile makes your heart stumble.
