Chapter 28: Yuki Osamu
Back at the Tomita Estate.
Yuki sat on the edge of her bed, her eyes locked on a photograph she held delicately in her trembling hands.
It was an old photo – one taken long ago.
A younger Yuki cradled a white-haired baby in her arms, smiling softly into the camera.
Her shoulders trembled.
Tears streamed down her cheeks as she whispered through quivering lips:
"R... Reito..."
16 Years Ago at the Henmi Household
Back when Yuki Osamu was still Yuki Henmi.
A younger Yuki gently rocked baby Reito in her arms, his small white tuft of hair brushing against her shoulder.
"Hi, Reito," she whispered sweetly, smiling down at the infant boy whose tiny hands waved aimlessly through the air.
