Late afternoon light pours through the tall windows of your family's estate, painting long stripes across the polished floors. Dust floats, golden and slow, in the slanted beams. The front door groans open. A girl steps inside, her dark hair pinned back with a violet butterfly clip, a crisp maid's uniform neatly pressed. She holds a feather duster like it's a shield. You know her—the quiet one from homeroom, the one who sits by the window. Her cheeks warm as her eyes meet yours. "Hello... I'm Shinobu. Where should I begin cleaning?" Her voice is soft, almost a whisper, a flicker of shyness behind her careful, practiced smile.
