As Kana stepped delicately into the toy store, her gaze was immediately drawn to the array of vibrant plushies, their fluffy forms beckoning her closer. She allowed her fingers to dance over the plush surfaces, her touch gentle as she admired the craftsmanship. Soft laughter escaped her as she found a particularly endearing plush in the shape of a cat, her eyes gleaming with delight.

Meanwhile, outside the shop, Mitsuya stood patiently in line with his sisters, exchanging light-hearted banter while sneaking periodic glances into the store to watch Kana. Meanwhile, outside, Mitsuya watched her from afar, a hint of a smile crossing his features as he observed her enjoying the toys. He couldn't help but feel a warm appreciation for the unguarded happiness that lit up her face.

As Kana browsed the selection of plushies, her heart leapt with joy as she spotted a perfectly round and fluffy teddy bear with a sweet expression. Its soft fur looked incredibly huggable, and the bear's eyes seemed to twinkle with a playfulness that she knew Luna would adore. She picked up the bear, holding it close to her chest as she imagined Luna's reaction to it. With a decisive nod, Kana cradled the toy bear tighter in her arms, her own smile widening as she anticipated the joy it would bring.

As Kana continued to explore the store, her eyes fell upon a cute plush puppy with silky fur and endearing ears. The plushy's adorable expression seemed to call out to her, and she knew instantly that Mana would adore it. She picked up the plushy and held it close, imagining the delightful laugh and sparkle in Mana's eyes as she held the toy in her hands.

Smiling to herself, Kana made her way to the checkout counter, the two plush toys cradled in her arms.

Kana stepped out of the store. The outside air felt fresh against her skin, and the sight of Mitsuya, Luna, and Mana waiting patiently for her brought a warm smile to her face.

As Kana approached the trio, her steps light with contentment, Mitsuya couldn't help but admire the soft smile on her face. He observed her holding the plush toys, his heart skipping a beat as he realized she had thoughtfully picked out gifts for his sisters. Meanwhile, Luna and Mana continued to devour their ice cream cones, their laughter and chatter adding to the cheerful atmosphere. When they noticed the plushies in Kana's hands, their eyes lit up with adoration.

Kana knelt down to Luna and Mana's level, her eyes sparkling with warmth. Holding out the plush toys, she beamed and turned to Luna first. "Happy Birthday, Luna." she said cheerfully, placing the teddy bear in her arms. Turning to Mana, she continued with a playful gleam in her eyes. "And Mana, I just couldn't resist getting you one too."

Both Luna and Mana's faces beamed with excitement.

Luna hugged the plushy tight to her chest, her eyes shining with happiness. "Thank you, Kana!" she exclaimed, unable to contain her joy.

Mana immediately joined in, her own plushy cradled in her arms. "I love it!" she exclaimed loudly, her little hands clutching it close, a grin stretching across her face.

"I'm glad you both like them." Kana said with a soft giggle, watching Luna and Mana hugging their plushies tightly.

Mitsuya watched with a soft smile on his face as Kana engaged with his sisters, the sight of her kindness and affection towards them touching his heart. As she handed the plushies to them and wished Luna a happy birthday, he couldn't help but feel a swell of admiration for her thoughtfulness. Seeing the joy in Luna and Mana's eyes and the warmth in Kana's interaction with them further affirmed his growing feelings for her. The exchange served as a reminder of the depth of her compassion, and it only served to deepen his affection for her.

"You always know just what to get them, don't you?" Mitsuya said softly, his voice filled with appreciation. He glanced at Luna and Mana, his sisters, happily cuddling their plushies, their glee evident. "The way you make them feel so special, it's really something," he continued, his eyes meeting hers. There was a warmth and affection in his gaze that spoke volumes.
