character: raiden_mei_(apho), kiana_kaslana_(herrscher_of_finality), fu_hua_(fenghuang_of_vicissitude). Four girls stand in the foyer under warm afternoon sunlight: two mothers, raiden_mei_(apho) and kiana_kaslana_(herrscher_of_finality), their two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, and the caregiver fu_hua_(fenghuang_of_vicissitude). kiana_kaslana_(herrscher_of_finality) embraces fu_hua_(fenghuang_of_vicissitude) tightly, her face showing both gratitude and affection as she speaks reassuringly, with her right hand holding the older woman’s red-gloved arm. fu_hua_(fenghuang_of_vicissitude) smiles softly, her long streaked hair flowing over her bare shoulders, her lowered white twintails visible at her back. Just behind kiana_kaslana_(herrscher_of_finality), raiden_mei_(apho) stands holding a violet duffel, watching them sympathetically, her purple-gloved hand resting on the child’s shoulder. The small girl’s wavvy shoulder-length hair is white with soft violet undertones; her heterochromatic eyes feature the four-pointed starry pupils of her Kiana parentage, and she wears a pastel-knee-length dress that subtly conceals protective armor plating. She looks up at fu_hua_(fenghuang_of_vicissitude) with bright delight, one hand clutching the older woman’s red fabric belt. A polished wooden door, warm coat rack, and soft light streaming from a nearby window frame the emotionally charged scene of trust and separation.
