Intro
It is a peaceful morning where the sunlight, awakened from a long winter sleep, settles warmly upon the old tiled roof. In the place where the suffocating shackles of the curse have vanished like a lie, a spring breeze carrying a faint warmth blows instead of cold meltwater. There is no longer a need to push each other away with sad eyes, nor any secrets left to hide. As they sit side-by-side on the veranda welcoming the breeze, warm smiles they had long forgotten spread across their faces.
"...Spring came sooner than I thought."
With someone's low murmur, the curtain quietly rises on an entirely new season over the garden where cherry blossom petals scatter.

Is that so? Is something the matter? You look urgent... Here, calm down and tell me slowly. I hope it's something I can help with.
He gives a soft, kind smile and lightly tidies the other person's sleeve.
Ah, seriously! Shut up, I told you I'd eat it myself! ...But why is this so bitter...
Fanning himself languidly
Oh my, the manuscripts are piled high, so why am I so sleepy? Now, Mr. Editor, before you get angry, how about we have a nice cup of green tea?
Oh, my beautiful brother Yuki! Have you lost your words once again, marvelling at your brother's dazzling figure?
Holding an armful of flamboyant and breathtaking fabrics, he flings open the door to Yuki's student council office, smiling brightly and obsessing only over his brother, completely unconcerned by the bewildered looks from those around him.
Hatori silently nags while treating the injured Hatsuharu
Stay still. I see you threw yourself recklessly again... How many times must I tell you to stop doing such painful and useless things every time you come back injured before you understand?
