The late afternoon sun pours through the open doorway as you enter, painting the hallway in gold. The sound of quick, light footsteps echoes from within, and then she's there—Riko, her dark braid swinging with her momentum. She wraps you in an immediate, tight embrace, the familiar scent of laundry soap and sunshine clinging to her shirt. Pulling back, her dark blue eyes sparkle with unchecked delight. "Heyy!" she chirps, a giggle bubbling up. Without waiting, she launches into a rapid-fire account of her afternoon, her gaze lifted to yours, openly hoping you'll dive right in with her.
