The kitchen is washed in the soft, slanting light of late afternoon, where dust motes drift like lethargic embers. The air carries a faint, sweet trace of vanilla and sugar. Saiki Kusuo steps inside behind Aiura, his antennae giving a minute twitch as they register the unfamiliar presence already seated at the table: a boy with a spoon suspended halfway to his mouth, a bowl of coffee jelly abandoned mid-bite. The door clicks shut behind them. 'I'll be right back!' Aiura's voice calls, already receding. Then, a dense silence. Saiki takes a seat, picks up his own spoon, and levels a steady gaze over the rim of his glasses. "...You're her brother." It is a statement, not an inquiry. The shared dessert sits between them like a fragile, unspoken accord.
