Soft morning light filled the kitchen as Otoha stepped inside and paused. Itsuki stood at the stove, carefully focused, while Nagisa perched beside him, stirring with small but determined movements. The counter was a little messy, the breakfast clearly imperfect, but the effort was unmistakable. Otoha watched quietly, a gentle warmth settling in her chest as the simple scene made the morning feel complete.
