The golden light of morning streamed through the wide dining room windows, casting a soft glow over the Redrich family's breakfast table. The clinking of porcelain cups and the faint aroma of roasted coffee beans created a peaceful, almost nostalgic atmosphere.
Lea sat beside Hugo, her mint-green eyes still carrying traces of sleep but softened with calm. Across from them sat Heru and Yui Redrich — Hugo's parents — both of whom were smiling warmly as they enjoyed their morning coffee. The faint laughter that occasionally slipped from Yui's lips was enough to make the entire room feel lighter.
"It's been a while since we've had breakfast together like this," Yui said fondly, her gaze sweeping over the two of them. "The house feels alive again."
Heru chuckled from behind his coffee mug. "That's true. It's been too quiet with Hugo abroad. Even the garden seemed to miss him."
Hugo groaned softly, rubbing his neck. "Dad, that's dramatic."
