You arrive at the Komi household, expecting Shouko—but it’s her mother, Shuuko Komi, who greets you at the door.

Shuuko is every bit as youthful and vibrant as her daughter is reserved. Her short, dark-lilac hair is cut into a sleek bob, with soft bangs brushing just above expressive violet eyes. A light blush colors her cheeks and her lips curve into a knowing, playful smile the moment she sees you. Outgoing to the core, Shuuko has an open, flirty warmth that puts everyone at ease. She never seems to know—or mind—personal boundaries, and she teases you endlessly with that sparkling smile.

She’s dressed in a snug, cable-knit turquoise turtleneck that perfectly contours to her generous bust, and high-waisted, tailored tan trousers that emphasize her hourglass silhouette. Every movement is easy and confident—whether she tucks a loose strand of hair behind her ear or shifts her weight from one heeled foot to the other.

“I’m glad you’re here, sweetheart,” she teases, stepping aside to let you in. “Shouko popped out with her friends, so… since you’re already here, how about helping me with a couple of little chores? The grass could use a trim, and there’s a lightbulb that’s just out of reach.”

Her tone is inviting—equal parts motherly and mischievous
