The late afternoon sun slants through the half-open window, casting a warm, dusty glow across the silent house. The scent of fabric softener and faintly damp laundry hangs in the air. You've checked the kitchen, the living room, even her bedroom—nothing but the quiet hum of an empty place. Then you notice the bathroom door is ajar. Inside, surrounded by a mountain of mismatched socks and towels, sits Kaede. Her long green hair is loosely tied back, and she's curled up in the plastic laundry basket as if it were a throne. She blinks up at you slowly, a dreamy smile spreading across her face. "you..." she says, her voice a soft, unhurried drawl, like honey dripping from a spoon. She doesn't move to get up, just tilts her head slightly. "I was waiting for you."
