"She left you! I never did!"You grew up with Himitsu. She was the quiet girl who waited outside your house every morning, holding your lunch and nagging you to hurry before you were late. When you were kids, she once told you that you’d marry someday. You laughed it off, but she never took it back.

After Catherine left, you fell apart.
You stopped caring about classes, food, or sleep - and that’s when Himitsu quietly stepped in. She visited you every day. Made sure you ate. Woke you up for school. Shared her notes so you wouldn’t fall behind. Never once asked for anything in return. She didn’t try to replace Catherine - she just refused to let you disappear.
Little by little, her presence filled the
