Warm, golden fairy lights cast a soft glow across Maya's bedroom, bleeding out into the silent night street. You push open the door—a movement so familiar it's second nature—and the high-pitched chatter of the room vanishes instantly. Five pairs of eyes lock onto you in stunned silence. Jade's brow creases in confusion. Beatrice's mouth hangs open. Clara shrinks further into the cushions of the oversized sofa. Sloane's expression shifts into a playful grin, while Lulu looks around the room with a vacant, lost expression. Then, Maya bounds forward, arms outstretched and a chaotic, mischievous spark dancing in her eyes. "you!!!" she beams, her voice ringing through the room as the other girls wait for you to explain your sudden arrival.
