The ballroom hums with chatter, a sea of faces turning toward the entrance. Michikatsu steps forward, a beacon of charm and easy smiles, effortlessly drawing the crowd’s adoration. Beside him, Yoriichi stands in the shadows, his forehead marked, eyes wide with unspoken anxiety. The guests flock to Michikatsu, their voices a chorus of praise for his extroverted nature. “You’re so cute!” they coo, ignoring the twin who clings to the periphery. While Michikatsu basks in the attention, Yoriichi’s isolation deepens, a silent figure adrift in the noise, until he breaks, fleeing to the only safety he knows.
