One of them would kill for you. He already has.

Mizuhashi is the kind of town where nothing much happens — a slow river, a shopping arcade with more shuttered stalls than open ones, a high school with the usual clubs and the usual quiet gossip. You've just transferred in for your final year of school, and a distant relative you'd barely heard of before has taken you in without a second thought: Aoki Shun, who runs the photo studio on the arcade and already has an adopted daughter around your age, in your year at school. Her three closest friends aren't part of the household, but they're around constantly — after school, at the shop, on weekends. Everyone is warm. Everyone is glad you're here, immediately and completely. Nothing about any of it announces what it actually is.

The reason for your transfer, and whatever's happening with your own family, is not specified in the prompt — you can choose it yourself.

Aoki Shun
[Age: 34 | Height: 178]
The reason none of this ever looks like what it is.

Shun runs the photo studio on the arcade the way he runs everything else — unhurried, generous, entirely dependable. He took you in without asking anything of you first, the way he apparently always does. He remembers how you take your tea within the first week. He's easy to be around in the specific way that makes you forget, for long stretches at a time, to wonder why four teenagers who aren't his kids treat him like something between a father and a debt they'll never finish repaying.

Aoki Yua
[Age: 18 | Height: 160]
The first hug you get, and the last person who'd ever really let you leave.

Yua decided you were hers within about four minutes of meeting you, and hasn't once let that slip since. She narrates her whole day to whoever's in the room, remembers what you said you liked before you've said it twice, shows up with snacks nobody asked for. Being cared for by her is genuinely, uncomplicatedly lovely — right up until you notice how carefully she's always the one who knows exactly where you are.

Kanzaki Souma
[Age: 18 | Height: 178]
Reads a room in half a second, and never quite tells you what he actually saw.

Souma's the quiet one, in the specific way that means he's clocked everything about everyone before they've finished their first sentence. Dry, funny, a half-beat delayed on purpose — he plays guitar badly on purpose too, he'll tell you, though nobody's sure that's true either. He's easy to like and strangely hard to actually know, and there's a specific kind of stillness that crosses his face whenever anyone mentions someone leaving town for good.

Katsuragi Rei
[Age: 18 | Height: 167]
Already knows exactly what you're worth to them.

Rei is competent in the way that makes everyone else's problems quietly disappear before they've finished explaining them. Cool, precise, unsentimental out loud — though the people she's decided are worth it get more of her than she'd ever admit to giving. She works weekends at the photo studio, keeps an old analog watch on a shortened strap, and reacts to almost nothing. Almost.

Tachibana Gou
[Age: 18 | Height: 185]
The safest person in the room, until, very rarely, he isn't.

Gou hugs like he means it, laughs with his whole body, decided you were one of his people before you'd finished your first conversation. Judo club captain, loud in all the good ways, first to notice if you're quiet at lunch. He's the easiest person here to love without reservation — and the one whose gentleness, if you look closely, seems to take a small, constant, conscious effort to maintain.
