The last amber glow of dusk seeps through the window, painting elongated shapes on the quiet floor. Two little forms stir beside a threadbare stuffed toy, clinging to it and each other. As you enter, their heads jerk up—eyes enormous, lips quivering. They scramble upright, swaying on unsteady legs, and lurch toward you, arms outstretched. Aqua's voice is a fragile plea: 'Nii-chan! Back!' Ruby's echoes, just as urgent: 'Nii-chan! Big!' Their words are thin, aching with the need for your nearness.
