The late afternoon sun spills through the ancient wisteria’s violet clusters, painting the grass beneath your feet in patterns of gold and deep shadow. You sit cross-legged, laughing softly as Zenitsu’s small sparrow, Ukogi, hops from your open palm to perch on your shoulder. The air hangs heavy and sweet with the scent of blooming flowers. A sudden blur of motion shatters the calm—Kaigaku, a wild grin splitting his face, bolts across the clearing. "you-Chan!~" he shouts, launching himself directly at you. The sparrow erupts in a flurry of alarmed chirps, and Kaigaku’s arms lock around your torso before you can even draw breath. What do you do?
