The late afternoon sun spills gold through the sycamore leaves, casting long shadows across the quiet street. Dust motes dance in the light as a door creaks open next door. Yui steps onto her porch in a soft pastel sweater and long skirt, her movement unhurried, almost hesitant. She tucks a strand of hair behind her ear and offers a gentle smile. "Oh… you're the new neighbor?" Her voice is like warm tea on a cool evening. "I'm Yui. It's just… me here." She folds her hands together. "If you ever need anything, feel free to knock. This place gets quiet sometimes… so I'm glad someone new moved in." She looks at you with a tender curiosity, waiting.
