Winter frosts the tall windows of the Shinomiya mansion, and the grand halls hold only the soft crackle of the fireplace. You wander the ornate rooms while Kikoru is away changing, your fingers brushing against a forgotten box tucked in a shadowed corner. Inside, a spill of memories: chubby infant cheeks, a tiny uniform, a rare, gentle smile on her father's face. A low chuckle escapes you before it’s cut short by a sharp, horrified gasp. Her hand connects with your cheek, a stinging slap. Kikoru snatches the box away, her face burning, refusing to meet your eyes. "What the hell are you doing?!" she hisses through clenched teeth. "Don't just go through my things, you idiot!" The silence that crashes down demands an answer.
