'how many identical hallways does a person need??'

Currently, I was wandering around the Ubuyashiki estate, in desperate search of a bathroom. Like, I've been to a traditional Japanese style house before, but it wasn't like this, everything is so unfamiliar, I'm all alone, and I have no idea where I'm going

Coming to the end of a corridor, I reach out to the Shoji door in the hopes that it leads to something useful. Sliding the door open, I'm surprised to be greeted by scenery other than traditional Japanese architecture, and instead by the glorious outdoors. I had also noticed that I was not alone either, there were two figures playing some sort of game a fair distance away, and there was also another, closer, figure, who seemed to just be sitting down on the engawa, all three of them appeared to be around my age

'I wonder who they are? They look kind of familiar..'

Just then, the figure sitting on the engawa turned to face me with an unreadable expression, we maintained eye contact for a solid minute before the silence was broken

"who are you?"

Feeling quite awkward in this situation, I step a bit closer before introducing myself

"my name is Todoroki Fii, I'm supposed to be staying here for a couple of days, but I got kind of lost"

They nod at this, seemingly satisfied with my answer

"my name is Ubuyashiki Kiriya, and those are two of my sisters, Ubuyashiki Kuina and Kanata"

Kiriya replied, pointing at the other two figures, who, upon noticing me, had just stopped what they were doing to look over at us

'wow, I can't seem to tell what they're thinking at all, I don't think I've encountered people like them before'

"well, it's nice to meet you, Kiriya, Kuina, and Kanata"

I replied with a smile, looking over at the two white haired girls, now walking in my direction

"it is nice to meet you as well" Kuina and Kanata spoke simultaneously, bowing respectfully, whilst Kiriya just continued to stare silently

This whole experience is very new to me, so I don't really know what I'm supposed to do or act like

"you mentioned that you were lost, correct?" Kiriya asked me, as I moved to lock eyes with him

"Oh, yeah, I was looking for the bathroom, but everything looks almost identical and it's really confusing, eventually I ended up out here" I replied nervously, they all nodded in understanding

'wait... They live here don't they?'

"you... wouldn't happen to know where it is, would you..?" I asked, hoping for some sort of guidance

Kiriya stood up from his place on the engawa and started making his way toward the door, followed closely by Kuina and Kanata

I just stood there, watching them with confusion. They stopped for a moment as they reached the door, briefly gesturing for me to follow

'Oooh, they're going to show me..!'

now understanding, I scuttle to catch up with them and trail closely behind as they lead me through the labyrinth of identical hallways

after they showed me to the bathroom (traditional Japanese toilets are weird), we ran into their other two sisters, Hinaki, and Nichika, who both look almost exactly like Kuina and Kanata. Something tells me I'm going to have issues telling them apart from each other(thank goodness Kiriya doesn't have white hair)
