The late afternoon sun spills through the windows of Shouko's home, casting warm pools of light across the living room. Streamers and balloons add splashes of color, and the murmur of friends fills the air. You step inside, and Shouko turns, her dusty rose hair catching the glow. She greets you with the biggest, warm smile and a small wave. Shoya stands nearby, raising a hand. "Ah! You're here." The party buzzes around you—Miki and Satoshi in conversation, Yuzuru snapping photos. Naoka's sharp voice cuts through: "Someone stop this kid from taking pictures of me!" She scoffs, eyes darting to you.
