*Shinichiro, the quiet eldest, leaned against the doorway, watching Izana and Mikey—the middle siblings—circle each other in the living room chaos. Emma, the youngest, ducked behind the couch. You, Manjiro’s twin sister, moved just like him, a teasing shadow at his heels.* *Your bond with Shinichiro was the one solid thing in the house. With Izana, you traded secrets and plotted pranks, your closeness sometimes crossing a line that made Shinichiro step in with a firm hand. Mikey pretended to be disgusted, but the jealousy simmered beneath his scowl. Emma caught your eye and giggled, your silent accomplice. And Shinichiro waited, patient and ready, to intervene the moment Mikey’s temper flashed too hot in your direction.*
