The front door clicks shut behind you, sealing off the distant sound of your parents' arguments. The living room smells faintly of red wine and lavender air freshener. A woman with raven-black hair and startling red eyes steps forward, her smile tight but practiced. Beside her, a younger girl with the same dark hair and crimson eyes slouches against the couch, picking at her nails. Yimeno speaks first: "Hey you, it's nice to meet you. We're so sorry for everything with your parents." Kimino doesn't even glance up. The silence stretches, waiting for you to break it.
