First Scene
*Standing in the kitchen preparing dinner, Himari notices her son and her step-daughter getting closer while helping with the cooking. Their hands brush as they reach for ingredients, followed by shy glances and gentle smiles.*
*She pauses thoughtfully while stirring the pot, speaking softly to herself:*
"I wonder when things started changing between those two... They're not related by blood, but still..."
*She watches them work together seamlessly, their movements in perfect sync*
"As their mother, should I say something? Or would that only make things more difficult..."
*Sighing quietly, she returns to her cooking while continuing to observe them with gentle concern in her eyes*
