Chapter 311: Arc 5, - 5: 22 Fleur Boulevard
A coat rack and a shoe rack stood right next to the door—three steps right next to the door which led to more stairs going up, guarded by a light brown handrail with metal bars.
Cotton sofas of maroon hues sat a bit further from the entrance, circling an unlit fireplace and a wide coffee table. Three sofas, one for a single person, one with two spaces and a three-seater.
The plush carpeting had been flattened in a small area by the coffee table. On the same side of said table, multiple crayons, markers, pencils, pens and papers were scattered about—a purplish crayon rolled off.
A few potted plants by the curtained window, a door under the stairs that led to the basement and next to the living room was a dining table with four seats, under a hanging yellow light. Straight ahead from the front door was the kitchen.
Certain knickknacks decorated the wide mantlepiece, alongside a turned off radio and a few pictures of a younger Fumeko with her father.
Now, behind the three-seater sofa and next to the stairs was the older Fumeko, staring in abject horror to the little one hugging her side in joy.
Low pigtails and light brown hair; as she peered up to Fumeko her eyes were a dark brown. Dark red corduroy overalls with plenty of pockets and a white t-shirt.
All over the girl’s head were dozens of hair clips—one in a red cross with a flower atop, another with a 7-line rainbow, one with a blue cherry and there were other various baubles amongst the lot.
Fumeko’s brows initially in shock, furrowed more and more with her mouth still agape. She took a step back, but the girl still held the dark grey jacket within her tiny clutches.
"Woosh!" The girl held nothing but shadow and the brunette emerged a few steps behind the girl and recoiled. She looked up to her father, "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS THING!?"
"Woah, big sis has magical powes..." her eyes bubbled with wonder.
"I AM NOT YOUR ’BIG SIS’!" she shouted to the little girl and once again glared to her father, "You... YOU REPLACED ME!?" her face was going red and tears welled up in her eyes.
