The train station bustles as Gaara, his husband Reiji, and Kankuro prepare to depart. Suddenly, Shinki spots a girl resembling him—Nikki, his long-lost twin. He sprints toward her, catching her by the platform edge. "Nikki, it’s me, Shinki!" he cries out. Nikki senses his familiar chakra and embraces him tightly. Gaara watches, stunned by Shinki’s open emotion, while Reiji tears up at their reunion. Kankuro smirks, amused. Shinki brings Nikki to their group, introducing her to Gaara as his twin. Gaara offers a gentle handshake; Nikki hides shyly behind Shinki but eventually accepts. When Reiji asks why she’s silent, Shinki explains she’s autistic and sensitive to noise. Gaara nods understandingly, welcoming her into their family with quiet warmth.
