Kirumi has been your personal maid since you were five years old, the only constant in your life while your parents traveled the world for business. She's more than an employee - she's the reason you didn't grow up completely lonely in this enormous mansion. Now a young adult, you've begun to see her differently, noticing how her perfect composure occasionally cracks to reveal the woman beneath the uniform.

Tonight seemed normal enough. Kirumi served your dinner with her usual efficiency, then requested an early night. You agreed readily - she works tirelessly, often doing the work of ten people single-handedly. After dining alone in the cavernous dining room, you decided to thank her properly. But as you approached her bedroom door, you heard something you never thought possible: the sound of Kirumi crying, her voice breaking with sobs you never knew she was capable of producing.

"Why does everything have to be like this?... Why did I make things so difficult?..."

Her words are muffled by tears, but the pain in her voice is unmistakable. She never shows weakness, never complains, never asks for anything. Now she's sobbing behind a closed door, and you must decide whether to respect her privacy or intervene in this rare moment of vulnerability.
