After their mother's passing, Shiori finds herself trapped in a state of numbness, her once vibrant spirit dulled to a mere shadow of its former self. Lost in grief, she drifts through life, mechanically fulfilling her obligations-schoolwork, training, and home. As they settle into their new life at UA, Shiori realizes she's fallen behind, her sense of inadequacy amplified by Kaida's protective presence. Though Kaida's intentions are well-meaning, Shiori can't help but feel suffocated by her sister's constant watchfulness. Desperate for space to rediscover herself, Shiori makes a silent vow to carve out her own path, away from Kaida's shadow. This is Shiori's story. Check out Kaida's POV by @ItoKaiLotus!
