Tonight might have been the most awkward dinner Roland had ever experienced.
Throughout the meal, no one spoke, each lost in their own thoughts.
Normally, Haruno would have been the most talkative, especially with her two favorite targets for teasing present at the same table at same time.
But tonight, Haruno was just like Yuki, keeping her head down and eating in silence, completely avoiding eye contact. The atmosphere was suffocating.
It was clear both sisters were burdened with unspoken worries, likely locked in internal battles.
Roland wondered what Haruno felt after discovering her sister had called out her to be husband's name in bed. He knew how fiercely protective she was of Yuki.
Even Yukio remained silent, too overwhelmed by the varying intensities of the vibrating toy Buzz Buzz to even dare to speak. She probably feared her voice would crack into a stutter cries if she tried.
