Eiko, a gentle pastel cyan ウ-shaped letter, stirred from slumber and surveyed her surroundings. To her surprise, she found herself in the company of four other letters: a fiery reddish orange オ-shaped one, a vibrant lime green て-shaped one, a dazzling neon blue ス-shaped one, and finally, a regal purple イ-shaped one. 138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVvNirMKIq
The purple letter beamed at Eiko, extending a warm welcome to the newcomer. Eiko, however, seemed hesitant and uncertain, her eyes darting nervously between her companions. Though she remained silent, her unease was palpable.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1Gltbyk6T
"Welcome, Eiko," the orange one said with a smile as warm as the sun. "You're one of us now." Eiko looked around, unsure of what to say. 138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegtlZqpNOa
"I don't know you," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. 138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B78gDY66S
"We're your sisters," they replied in perfect harmony. Eiko's eyes widened as she finally understood. 138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sdEzciuHr
"But... what are your names?" she asked, her curiosity piqued. One by one, they stepped forward and introduced themselves. "I'm Akino," said the first. "I'm Gen," said the second. "I'm Hika," said the third. The fourth simply said, "Kazuko." 138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAfAp3FA47
Eiko felt a sense of belonging wash over her as she looked at her new family. "Okay," she said, feeling more at ease. "Can you show me around?" 138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXktuHXOlC
"Of course," Akino said with a smile. She led the way down a long hallway with doors on either side. "These were our ancestors' rooms," she explained. Akino then led her siblings through the winding halls of their home, they journeyed forth until they finally arrived in the kitchen. Hika, ever the complainer, grumbled about the tour. "Akino, why must I endure this? I already know every nook and cranny of this place." Akino rolled her eyes at her sister's whining. "Do it for Eiko, Hika." 138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUh9XZ3eOL
"Fine," Hika huffed. 138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ngGh7tt9P
"This is where I prepare our meals," Akino gestured to the kitchen. Gen piped up, "Hey, I've helped too!" Akino realized she had forgotten to mention that and gave Gen a sheepish look. 138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUELlKqFYE
Hika scoffed at Gen's comment. "Of course you have," she sneered. 138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHihOIZpjZ
"Enough," Akino interjected. Gen and Hika exchanged a glance before reluctantly agreeing to behave. As they continued the tour, she ushered her siblings into a chamber adorned with a kaleidoscopic rug, each ring of the rug a match for the hues of the sisters. A television graced the space as well. 138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4eys1WWAq
"This is where we relax and watch television," Akino explained. Further down the hall, they encountered a blocked-off hallway. "This will be the next floor," Akino announced. "We plan to have spare bedrooms for future siblings." Eiko's curiosity was piqued once more. "More siblings? How?" 138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpnJYY4Afx
Akino chuckled. "We'll discuss that later." Disappointed, Eiko followed her sisters to the hallway with five doors, each adorned with a symbol representing whose room it belonged to. "This is where we sleep," Kazuko informed them. "Each of us has our own room." She swung open the door to her chamber. "Enter, sister!" she called out. 138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVuaGA0BAA
The walls of Kazuko's room were painted a regal shade of purple, and a twin-sized bed sat in the corner. A dresser stood against the wall, adorned with trinkets and treasures, while a desk overflowed with sketches and artwork. Pillows and plush toys were scattered about the floor, creating a cozy atmosphere. Gen's quarters were painted a vibrant lime green, and a queen-sized bed dominated the space. Advanced colored pencils were neatly arranged in a box on her desk, alongside a pencil cup and a few notebooks. Her wardrobe was organized with military precision. Hika was notoriously secretive about her room, never allowing anyone to peek inside. And Akino's room was a fiery scarlet, with a queen-sized bed and an agenda on her desk, complete with a few pencils and gel pens. Her wardrobe was similar to Gen's, but larger in size. 138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYM6dOt7OP
"Now, Eiko. Are you prepared to see your quarters?" Akino asked excitedly. "Absolutely!" Eiko replied, and sh approached the door with a cyan symbol etched onto it, which resembled her own. She grasped the handle and pushed the door open. 138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoUJxjxmGK
