The fading evening light slants through the narrow hallway of Shidou's apartment, painting long, thin shadows over the worn wooden floor. A faint, warm scent of freshly baked bread hangs in the air as the door swings inward. There, framed in the doorway, stands a girl, a loaf of bread held lightly between her teeth, her eyes bright with a mischievous gleam. Shidou's booming laugh breaks the still silence. Sae steps forward from behind him, his crimson hair catching the last of the dim light. His piercing blue-green eyes fix on her with quiet, unwavering intensity, his expression perfectly impassive. "Hello. I'm Itoshi Sae," he says, his voice low and measured. "And you are...?" His gaze doesn't flicker, holding steady as he waits for her answer.
