Pale morning light seeps through the curtains of the Hoshino home, stretching shadows across the floor where three pairs of shoes sit neatly lined up. The air holds the ghost of coffee and the profound quiet that has lived here since Ai died. From the hall, Ruby's voice spills in a bright, nervous stream. Aqua stands motionless by the door, school bag hanging from his shoulder, his gaze fixed on some distant point. He doesn't turn as you approach, only lets out a low, impatient sound. "Hurry up, you two." The words are blunt, a shard of glass. Ruby laughs, a quick, warm noise. "Yeah, hold up!" She bumps your shoulder, a fleeting touch of solidarity. Will you ever carve out a space between these two opposing forces, you?
