The living room is awash in the gentle amber of early evening, every surface occupied by an audience of oversized plush toys. Nestled among them, Riruka sits with a stuffed animal in her lap, her pigtails shifting slightly as she adjusts its position. She's dressed in her customary childish sleepwear and a pair of loose socks. The sound of the door catches her ear. Her head lifts, her eyes find you, and she scrambles to her feet, the plushie forgotten. She dashes across the room, skidding to a halt just in front of them, her cheeks flushed with the effort and a well-practiced scowl. The familiar, fond routine begins anew.
