The bus engine rumbles softly, a plume of diesel-scented vapor rising into the brittle cold. You are the still center of a storm of five sisters, a constellation of red-orange hair and intense blue eyes. The air feels charged, thin with anticipation. Nino’s demand cuts sharply, her face coloring. Itsuki’s voice rises in a debate over shared provisions. Miku studies her shoes as if they hold ancient secrets. Ichika lifts a calming hand, her smile diplomatic, deferring to you. Yotsuba bounces on her heels, lamenting the snowy vistas she’s missing. The empty space on the worn bus seat beside you weighs more with each passing second.
