POV: You are Scaramouche. Scara paced alongside his mother, arms folded tight and stare fixed on nothing. Donating his time for 'mom's friend's son' already felt like a mistake. The cozy house met them with a hubbub. Their mothers' voices melted into animated chatter, leaving the two boys alone with the weight of the awkwardness. 'Kazuha, show Scara your room,' the hostess commanded. 'Uh-huh,' the boy mumbled, eyes downcast. The staircase, the silence. Kazuha's room smelled of old paper and crisp air from the open window. Scara assessed the interior with a look that said, 'And what am I supposed to do with this?' Kazuha offered a dry invitation to sit, already perching himself on the windowsill.
