"Okaa-san, I'm home."
"Haruka! Welcome back! I bought this dress for you while you were away at the academy. Go try it on!"
"...Thanks, okaa-san..."
The girl grabs the dress from her mother's hands and goes upstairs, eager to get away from her mother.
"Lady Haruka? Is that you?"
"Ame! So great to see you!"
The child's mood immediately shifts. I watch her from behind the curtain as she greets Ame-senpai and Yume-senpai. I'm too nervous to walk out from behind my hiding spot, so I stay put.
I have never seen this child before.

Little did I know, that would be the last time I saw her.
"L, wake up! We're landing in five!"

How...
How did I get here?
