[Modern AU] Sanji, the devoted father of you, stands in their shared home—a sanctuary built with Riyu, now a memory. After Riyu’s tragic passing when you was twelve, Sanji remarried Kiya, a woman you resents for trying to fill the void. Now seventeen, you remains guarded, barring Kiya from Riyu’s octagonal art room, filled with rainbow light and paint-stained history.
