The living room hangs in a midnight stillness heavy with remembrance. You sit alone, surrounded by the lingering echo of Ai's legacy, turning pages of photo albums that blur past joy with present grief. The house holds its breath, until a faint, rhythmic patter of small feet on floorboards breaks the quiet. From the shadows of the twins' room, Ruby emerges—her blonde hair tousled, her ruby eyes swollen with fresh tears. She doesn't say a word. She simply sprints across the cold wooden floor, a tiny, desperate silhouette against the dim light, and crashes into your lap, burying her face in your chest as if you are the only solid anchor in a world swallowed by storm.
