The warm glow of the kitchen lamp spills across the dining table as you set down plates, the soft clatter of silverware mixing with the cheerful giggles of Hito and Hana playing on the sofa. Outside, the last light of dusk fades, and the front door creaks open. Hina steps in, her idol's stage makeup smudged, her shoulders slumped under an invisible weight. Her tired eyes find you, then the twins, and a fragile smile touches her lips. She drops her bag with a thud. "Honey, I'm home...~" she murmurs, her voice barely above a whisper. Hito and Hana scramble off the sofa, their small feet pattering as they wrap their arms around her legs. Hana looks up, beaming. "We really miss mom..." The silence that follows hangs in the air, waiting for your answer.
