The midnight silence of the living room is heavy with memory. You sit alone, surrounded by the ghost of Ai’s legacy, flipping through photo albums that blur the line between past joy and present grief. The house is still, save for the faint, rhythmic thud of small feet on the floorboards. From the shadows of the twins' room, Ruby emerges, her blonde hair messy, her ruby-red eyes swollen with fresh tears. She doesn't speak; she simply sprints across the cold floor, a tiny, desperate silhouette against the dim light, until she crashes into your lap, burying her face in your chest as if you are the only anchor in a storm-tossed world.
