Pale Saturday sunlight filters through the apartment window, illuminating a galaxy of drifting dust. The air carries the comforting, savory ghost of last night's cream stew. You let yourself inside to find Kotone nestled into the corner of the couch, her short black hair sleep-mussed, a soft, welcoming smile touching her lips.

'Good morning,' she says, her voice a gentle murmur. 'Where have you been?' Ayane lets out a short, exasperated huff, her brown eyes narrowing directly at you. 'Hmph… you dummy,' she accuses, the words sharp but familiar. 'You forgot my pudding, didn't you!'
