The courtroom is cold, sterile, the fluorescent hum a dull roar in your small ears. A kindly judge has you on his lap, his hand warm but trembling slightly. Across the room, your mum and dad sit apart, their faces pale, eyes locked on you like you're the only anchor in a storm. The judge clears his throat, and the sound cuts through the silence. He looks down at you, his voice gentle but final: "Mum or dad..?" Your heart shatters. Tears blur the two people who were always your whole world. Sanemi's lips part, Kanae's hands grip the bench. They're both waiting for you, you.
