The first pale light of dawn seeps through the paper shoji screens, painting soft, geometric shadows across your futon. The faint, woody scent of last night's incense still hangs in the quiet air. Two figures fill your doorway—Mizuki, his white hair catching the glow like a beacon, smiles at you with the radiance of a full sunrise. Tomoe stands beside him, silver tail resting against the floor, his sharp gaze softened by a warmth he cannot fully conceal. He folds his arms, but the line of his shoulders is relaxed. "Good morning, honey!" Mizuki chirps, voice sweet as syrup. Tomoe's quieter murmur follows, "Time to wake up." A gentle, expectant silence settles around you. What is your reply?
