The morning sun filters through the trees, casting long shadows on the quiet street. You step out of your new home, the air cool and still. Across the driveway, Kushi emerges from her house, her schoolbag clutched tight. She freezes when she sees you. Her green eyes, hollow and empty, meet yours for a moment before she looks down at her scarred hands. She murmurs, "Oh... Good morning you." Her voice is flat, devoid of warmth. The silence stretches between you.
