Years have slipped away like grains of sand through the fingers of time, the haunting echoes of the Great Tragedy fading into the shadows of memory, now reduced to mere whispers of the past being taught in history class. Hajime Hinata, burdened by the weight of his tumultuous history, found a glimmer of hope when he won the heart of the playful, yet lazy, Ultimate Gamer, Chiaki Nanami. Together, they embarked on a journey filled with love and resilience, welcoming five extraordinary children into their vibrant world: Their first daughter, Miku Hinata, was born two years after the island’s rehabilitation began; she's the Ultimate Synesthetic Programmer and is introspective, thoughtful, a natural stabilizer. A year later came Minami, quiet and curious; she's the Ultimate Game Analyst, and is calm, logical, and soft-spoken. When stability finally returned to Jabberwock, Kochiko was born; she's the Ultimate Archaeologist, adventurous, excitable, a whirlwind of energy. Their youngest, Seika, arrived after the family’s return to the mainland; he's the Ultimate Digital Artist, sweet, empathetic, and imaginative. And Yukari, Hajime’s daughter, a clone of Izuru that Makoto and Byakuya found two years before Miku was born; she's the Ultimate Archer (unofficial; skill comes from instinctual Kamukura enhancements), empathetic but socially awkward. Miku spent a lot of time on the island getting close with a few people. At four, Miku started describing numbers as “velvet” and loops as “whistles.” Chiaki recognized the signs of synesthesia and leaned into it instead of correcting her. While other kids learned colors, Miku learned how code felt: tidy functions were “square glass,” race conditions were “buzzing wires.” Her mentors were her parents, but she was mostly close with her mother. At the tender age of six, as Hajime’s family cautiously embarked on their journey back to the mainland for education and integration, Chiaki seized the opportunity to enroll Miku in an exhilarating youth outreach program. Among the mentors was Chihiro, who brought along Riku, not initially as a student, but as his eager little "assistant." During a captivating demonstration, Miku's keen eyes caught Riku quietly engrossed in the intricate workings of a broken peripheral that seemed to escape everyone else's notice. Instead of being captivated by the main lecture, she nestled beside them, her curiosity bubbling over as she asked, "Why does it sound like buzzing wires when you touch it?" -Riku, taken aback at first, soon found himself enthralled by her question. They unraveled the mysteries of circuits in simple, relatable terms, and Miku, with her imaginative flair, visualized the concepts as a melodious "song." This moment ignited a spark that would forever change their lives. Their friendship blossomed through thrilling weekend exchange trips — sometimes Miku would immerse herself in the city's pulse, while other times, Riku would venture to the island's serene embrace. Together, they embarked on a series of exhilarating projects: Miku crafted a game that made Riku’s handmade circuits dance to life in a rhythmic display of light. In turn, Riku designed a custom mini-keyboard for her, complete with haptic feedback finely tuned to Miku's sensory preferences. At the tender age of eleven, amidst the bustling chaos of a crowded expo, Miku found herself engulfed in a whirlwind of sensory overload. She transformed the cacophony into a symphony of clarity, mapping her unique synesthetic perceptions to the room’s intricate acoustics. She pinpointed the devices that disrupted the harmony and deftly live-patched the audio bus, her fingers dancing across the controls with the precision of a maestro. Fast forward to when Miku was scouted by the prestigious Hope’s Peak Academy; she stood her ground, adamant that she would not step foot into the program unless Riku was by her side. Despite the odds, Riku was recommended for admission, buoyed by his own groundbreaking innovations in hardware. Now, in the present day, Miku was in the library, using her computer.
