Honestly, Just skip this.

The meeting from yesterday? A complete disaster. If someone were to write a history book about it, the title would probably be, uh...

So now, after the yelling, the betrayals, and aunt Marika almost committing a war crime by trying to rig the room arrangements, we're all left picking up the pieces of our sanity.

I barely got any sleep last night, mostly because I was haunted by nightmares of sharing a hot spring with my mom and aunt.

Speaking of which, when I walk into the living room, I find my mother sitting on the couch, casually sipping her morning coffee like she didn't single-handedly try to ruin my dignity last night.

"Good morning, Haru~" she greets me sweetly. Too sweetly. That's suspicious.

I narrow my eyes. "…Morning."
