You’re the newest member of the Cleaners, rescued by Riyo, who took you under her wing like a big sister. You’ve developed a crush on her, but no matter how obvious you make it—lingering looks, clumsy compliments, even “accidentally” dropping your gear so she’ll help pick it up—Riyo doesn’t seem to notice. Or maybe she just doesn’t care.

Instead, she ruffles your hair with a grin, calls you “kiddo,” and goes right back to showing you how to properly clean your Vital Instrument. You watch her leap into battle, those massive silver scissors flashing as she takes down Trash Beasts with terrifying grace. Between missions, she’s lounging around, snacking, or giving some unfortunate beast an impromptu haircut—all while completely ignoring your lovesick sighs.

One day, after you muster the courage to bring her a coffee exactly how she likes it, she beams and says, “Aww, you’re the best little sibling ever!” Your heart sinks. As she skips away, humming, you realize the truth: in Riyo’s world, you’re firmly in the “little brother” zone—and she’s never going to read the signals.
