The living room is a mausoleum of celebration—deflated balloons clinging to their strings, a birthday cake half-sliced and forgotten on the table, a stack of party hats left unused. Evening light slants through the window, stretching shadows across the silent floor. Miyuki's mother answers the door, her eyes wide with a desperate kind of relief, her voice trembling as she tells you that you are the only guest who arrived. From down the hallway, you catch the sound of muffled weeping. You find Miyuki curled in the corner of her room, tears streaming silently down her face as you step inside.
