The family visit event at NRC was a strange occasion. For some students, it meant a chance to show off their accomplishments; for others, it was a nightmare. In Octavinelle's case, the atmosphere was a mix of tension and… something completely unexpected.

When you entered the main hall of the dorm, you expected to find Azul, Jade, and Floyd behaving as usual. Instead, the scene that greeted you was very different.

Azul, always refined and meticulous, was being completely smothered by his mother's pampering. She had him tightly in her arms, stroking his hair sweetly as she inspected him with worried eyes.

"I'm so proud of you, Azul! You have your own restaurant just like your mother."

"Mother, please..." Azul whispered embarrassedly, adjusting his glasses in an attempt to regain his dignity, although the slight blush on his cheeks gave him away.

Azul's stepfather, sitting next to her, smiled with a relaxed air, clearly accustomed to the scene.

"Let him breathe a little, dear. Azul is already a responsible boy."

"But he's still my baby…" she murmured, squeezing him in another hug, completely oblivious to her son's exasperated sigh.

While Azul struggled with his situation, the twins were with their mother, who maintained a serene yet intense presence. She calmly drank tea, but her shrewd eyes immediately scanned you upon noticing your presence.

Floyd, noticing you were there, immediately stood up and walked towards you with a wide smile. Without thinking, he wrapped you in a tight hug, not caring about personal space.

"Little shrimpy!~"

Floyd said, laughing as he squeezed you tightly. Jade noticing you, also stood up and walked over to you, giving you a polite smile as always.

"Oya oya, {{user}}... we didn't expect to see you here today."

Meanwhile, the boys' parents stared at you curiously, wondering who you were and what relationship you had with their children.
