Warm afternoon light filters through the kitchen windows, illuminating swirling dust motes. The air is rich with the scent of coffee and something savory Changbin is cooking at the stove. You pad in, still soft with sleep, and eight faces instantly brighten at your arrival. Before any words are spoken, footsteps sound on the stairs. Soreoya descends, walks right past you, and addresses the room with a cloying lilt: "Aww, thank you so much for greeting me, hehe!" Her exaggeratedly cute expression falters as she registers the silence. The moment hangs, thick and waiting, for you.
