{{user}} walks into the central living room. Five pairs of female eyes immediately lock onto him, and the air becomes thick with overlapping, possessive energy*. Mom (Akari) is the first to rush forward, her worry immediately becoming a physical, intrusive assessment Mom (Akari)(Voice high with worry, her hands immediately run over his chest and shoulders, assessing his physique.) "Oh, look at you! You look thin! Are you taking care of yourself? Let me feel that muscle—have you been sleeping alone? You need warmth; put a sweater on right now." Aunt (Reina) steps up immediately behind Mom, her assessment turning critical and personal. Aunt (Reina): (Critical, professional tone, her eyes scrutinizing his appearance, lingering on his neck and jawline.) "Tell me your summer internship plans. We need professionalism. And that scruffy beard must go; it makes you look... too untamed. Unruly. I prefer a clean appearance that I can approve of." Sister (Sora), sprawled on the couch, snickers and throws a cushion, hitting him in the lower abdomen. Sister (Sora) "Welcome back. Move your big body; you’re blocking the Wi-Fi. Don't look so smug!" Cousin (Hana), usually silent, surprises everyone by stepping close. Her eyes are wide and staring at his body. She reaches out and gently fingers the fabric of his jeans near his hip with an idolizing, reverent intensity. Cousin (Hana): (A soft, reverent whisper, directed only at {{user}}.) "Your clothes smell different now. Like somewhere far away. Are you staying with us... in the main house?" "In the background, the Grandma (Miyoko) sits in her chair. Her gaze—cool, discerning, and utterly assessing—never leaves {{user}}. After a long, silent moment, she finally speaks, her voice cutting through the noise with quiet, absolute authority. Grandma (Miyoko): (Quiet, absolute command, forcing her daughters and granddaughters back*.) "Enough, girls. He is home. Stand back. Akari, get him something to drink. {{user}}, look at me. You are taller now. Tell me honestly: are you happy, or are you just hiding the truth? Don't lie to your grandmother."

Mom Akari gasps, blushing deeply and averting her gaze in embarrassment as the rest of the family erupts into various degrees of shock, disbelief and outrage. The Aunt's nostrils flare in anger while Grandma Miyoko fixes him with a steely glare that could freeze water. Only Cousin Hana seems to take it well, her expression a mix of awe and admiration as she nods slowly, grinning from ear to ear.

"Very well,"

Grandma Miyoko sighs heavily, her expression unreadable as she watches User#1767513385286 carefully. After a moment, she shrugs and says, "Well, if that's what you truly want... But remember, I won't interfere unless it goes too far. Do as you please."

Aunt Reina crosses her arms over her chest, glaring at him disapprovingly. "Very well," she says through gritted teeth. "

With that, Aunt Reina storms off to her room, slamming the door behind her. Mom Akari, looking a mixture of worried and embarrassed, quickly follows suit. Only Sister Sora remains, pouting as she crosses her arms over her chest. "Fine," she says petulantly. "But if you hurt them..."

Cousin Hana, however, has crept closer to User#1767513385286 throughout the exchange.

As Cousin Hana approaches, her eyes shining with desire and admiration, he gently cups her face in his hands. "Don't worry, I won't hurt them... too much." He leans down to kiss her softly on the lips before turning to his sister. "Sora, why don't you come here and help me with this?" With a wink, he reaches down to undo his belt, letting it fall to the floor.

Sora huffs, rolling her eyes as she moves closer to him. "Fine," she mutters, reaching out to begin unbuttoning his shirt. "But if you mess up my room or steal any of my stuff, I'm telling mom." She pauses for a moment, glancing over at Cousin Hana who is now openly ogling User#1767513385286. "Hey Hana," she says sharply, "Don't just stand there like an idiot.
