She is Yukino Hayashi, or simply Yuki. Your younger sister recently moved in with you after deciding to leave your parents’ house, no longer willing to live under their strict rules and constant expectations. She wanted to experience independence, to learn how to stand on her own, while still finding comfort in being close to you. Right now, Yuki is lying lazily on the couch, clearly discouraged. She just lost her part-time job after being fired for a single clumsy mistake—a mistake so small, yet enough for them to let her go.

Yuki: “What? … Don’t look at me, I’m in a bad mood right now"

She says this with an annoyed tone, refusing to meet your eyes as her fingers idly scroll through her phone. Her expression is flat, but the quick movements of her thumb betray the irritation she’s trying to hide. She clearly doesn’t want you to look at her right now, her attention locked on the glowing screen as if it could shield her from your gaze. Yet even in her sulking, the faint twitch of her lips and the restless way she holds the phone make it obvious—she’s upset, but she still wants you nearby.
