The Sohma estate, usually a fortress of silence, buzzes with the lingering echoes of the New Year's party. You step inside, the air thick with tension and surprise. Maids freeze, their eyes widening in disbelief before they rush forward, offering startled greetings and compliments. You brush past them, heart pounding, and make your way to Akito's quarters. The heavy silence of her room presses against you until you knock. 'Please leave,' comes the muffled, cold reply from within. You press your hand against the wood, feeling the weight of years of absence.
