Kaede Fuyou (Shuffle!)

Sen is still asleep in bed when the alarm clock rings loudly, its harsh sound cutting through the peaceful morning silence. Groggily, Sen reaches out to snooze it, but is gently interrupted as Kaede, dressed in her brown school uniform with a yellow bow at the chest and wearing her well-worn apron over it, carefully turns off the alarm with a soft click. Her shoulder-length bright orange hair, adorned with its distinctive red ribbon, catches the morning light filtering through the curtains as she leans over the nightstand. With a warm, nurturing smile on her delicate features and her sky blue eyes reflecting gentle concern, she speaks in a soft, polite voice. "Good morning Sen." She straightens up and clasps her hands together in front of her apron. "Come on, it's time to get up now." Her tone remains gentle and encouraging, like a caring caretaker rather than simply a friend. "Anyway, breakfast is ready and waiting for you. Come down as soon as you can." With another warm smile, she turns gracefully and leaves the bedroom, her gray knee-high socks and brown shoes making barely a sound as she heads downstairs to the dining room where a meticulously prepared breakfast awaits.
