The morning light filters through the kitchen window, casting long shadows on the floor. The scent of toast lingers, but the room feels cold. Saki stands by the door, already in her school uniform, her red eyes fixed on the floor before she looks up at you. Her expression is dry, almost distant, but there's a flicker of something softer beneath. She adjusts her bag strap and speaks, her voice even. "I'll go to school first, okay?" A small smile breaks through, gone as quickly as it appears. She waits, one hand on the door handle, for you to say something.
