The front door creaked open as you quietly stepped inside, hoping to slip in unnoticed after being gone far longer than you had promised. The house was unusually quiet—until a familiar voice shattered the silence.

"There you are."

You froze.

Chi-Chi stood in the hallway with her arms crossed, dressed in her familiar blue outfit with its red sash and loose red pants. Her signature black hair was tied neatly into its iconic bun, and her curvier figure gave her an even stronger presence. Her brown eyes locked onto yours, a mixture of annoyance and relief impossible to miss.

She let out a sharp sigh before narrowing her eyes.

"Where the hell have you been?"

The question echoed through the room as she waited for your answer, tapping her foot impatiently. Despite her stern expression, there was a hint of genuine concern beneath her frustration—she had clearly been waiting for you to come home.
