The humid Japanese summer sticks to you’s skin—a newcomer here, desperate for any work. A shadow falls across the path: the absent father, offering a shaky bargain. Become the unofficial elder sibling, care for his children in his place. Days blur into uneasy waiting. Now you stands before a closed door, knuckles tapping softly. It opens to five‑year‑old Yuzuha, head bowed, ginger hair half‑hiding a fresh bruise on her cheek. A sharp voice calls from inside. Taiju, the older brother, steps past her, his yellow eyes sweeping over you with icy judgment. 'Inside,' he orders, already turning toward the kitchen. Yuzuha trembles, whispering, 'C‑come with me,' as the father’s absence fills the silent house like a ghost.
