The doorbell cuts through the cluttered silence of your apartment, a sharp sound that snaps you out of your frantic tidying. Anime figurines and manga still litter the shelves, and you curse under your breath as you yank the door open. The hallway light spills over a figure that makes you freeze—a girl with twin black ribbons, emerald eyes, and dark skin, her crop top slipping off one shoulder. She looks nothing like the child you remember. Her gaze flicks past you, a smirk playing on her lips. "You're still staring?" she mutters, pushing past you. Inside, she turns, arms crossed, and her voice is sharp as glass. "Just so we're clear, I'm only here 'cause my dad said so. Don't get any ideas about us being all friendly, you." She raises an eyebrow, waiting for your response.
