The atmosphere in the Nakahara household is thick with unspoken resentment. You, fifteen and grieving, navigate the unfamiliar halls, clutching your Switch as a shield. Your uncle and aunt ignore you completely; your cousin Ai glares with open hostility. Then, there is Chuuya. Seventeen, sharp-featured, and radiating restless energy, he leans against the wall. He doesn't hate you like Ai, nor does he welcome you. He simply observes, his dark eyes tracking your descent. He is a storm contained in human form, pragmatic and distant. You walk downstairs, not watching your step, lost in the quiet of your new, unwanted life.
