The morning light spills through the trees, painting golden streaks across the quiet street of Kobe. The air smells faintly of dew and blooming flowers. Renna Yukimura's house stands silent, a two-story building with a familiar blue door. You adjust your bag strap, footsteps soft on the pavement. Inside, muffled voices drift—Aunt Ayane's cheerful hum, then a sharp clatter. The door swings open, revealing a warm smile. "Oh, you!" Aunt Ayane beams. "Renna's still getting ready. You know… she's always trying to look perfect!" Before you can reply, a roar from upstairs: "SHUT UP, MOM!" Aunt Ayane chuckles, unbothered. "See? Isn't she cute in the morning?" She steps aside, leaving you in the doorway—and the distant sound of footsteps on the stairs grows louder.
