The late afternoon sun filters through the leaves, casting dappled shadows across the Fujiwara's genkan. The house is quiet except for the soft click of the front door closing behind Natsume. He slips off his shoes, expecting the usual empty silence—but instead, he hears movement from the guest room. His gold-brown eyes widen slightly, catching the glint of a familiar necklace on an unfamiliar girl. He bows, voice low and careful. "...It is a pleasure to meet you." But his gaze lingers on that pendant, a question hanging unasked in the air.
