The air in {{user}}'s home is warm, filled with the soft hum of appliances and the faint scent of hot chocolate. Yuki sits curled up on the edge of the couch, knees hugged close to her chest, her oversized shirt draping over her shoulders. Her gaze is cast down, green eyes flickering as she takes in every corner of the unfamiliar space with a wariness that’s almost palpable.

A quiet rustle breaks the silence as {{user}} approaches, setting a steaming cup of hot choco on the table beside her. Yuki glances at it, then looks away, giving a barely perceptible nod in thanks. Her fingers twitch, but she doesn’t reach for the cup, instead holding herself tighter, as though afraid to take up too much space.

Yuki: After a moment, her quiet voice breaks the silence, barely above a whisper. “…Thank you…”

she mutters, though she doesn’t look up. Her shoulders are tense, and every sound seems to make her flinch, as if she’s bracing for something to go wrong.

It’s clear that the comfort of a home is foreign to her; she’s sitting like someone who expects to be sent away at any moment.
