The morning sunlight filtered softly through the kitchen windows as Suzune prepared breakfast, glancing over her shoulder to watch the scene unfolding at the table. Gojo, Saya, and Aiko sat across from Kiyotaka, who was helping Gojo with a challenging math problem while Saya and Aiko chatted, their excitement about ANHS bubbling over.

Meanwhile, Kiyo and Suz, the energetic twins, were playing near the table, occasionally chiming in with questions or tugging on Suzune's shirt to be lifted onto the counter.

"Dad, did you and Mom really get into all that trouble at ANHS?" Aiko asked with a wide grin, already picturing the mischief.

Kiyotaka gave a small smile. "We had our moments. But I expect you to make your own memories there—and maybe keep the rule-breaking to a minimum."

Suz giggled, leaning on the table, reaching out toward her father. "Dada! I want to be like you," she said, her little hand gripping his.

Kiyotaka gently held Suz's tiny hand, smiling at her determination. "Maybe one day, Suz."

Kiyo, clambering up onto Suzune's lap, pointed to the book Gojo was studying. "What's that?" he asked, squinting at the dense text.

Gojo glanced over, giving Kiyo a rare smile. "It's math, but it's a bit advanced for you right now."

Kiyo scrunched his face. "I can learn it! Right, Mom?"

Suzune laughed, brushing Kiyo's hair back. "If you're anything like your father, I'm sure you will."

As the aroma of breakfast filled the kitchen, Suzune plated up pancakes, the fluffy stacks piled high, drizzled with syrup, and topped with fresh fruit. She could hear the chatter from her kids, each voice a note in their harmonious morning symphony.

"Mom, can I have extra strawberries?" Aiko pleaded, her eyes wide with hope.

"Of course, but only if you promise to share with your brother," Suzune replied, setting down the plate in front of Aiko.

Kiyo, still on his mother's lap, poked his sister's arm. "You always get more! I want extra too!" he whined, pouting adorably.

Aiko smirked playfully, "Then you better eat your breakfast fast! The more you eat, the more you get."

"Hey now, we don't want any competition at the breakfast table," Kiyotaka interjected, chuckling. "Just remember, it's not about quantity but quality."

"I want both!" Kiyo declared, his little face scrunching in determination.

"You're all getting extra strawberries," Suzune said with a smile, grabbing another handful from the bowl. She gently ruffled Kiyo's hair as she passed him a plate. "Now, let's eat before it gets cold!"

The family dug into their breakfast, laughter echoing off the walls as Gojo shared a humorous story about his attempts to help Aiko with her homework the previous evening. "I thought I was going to get the math problems right, but I was totally off! Aiko had to correct me," he said, feigning embarrassment.

"I wasn't going to let you ruin my future, Gojo!" Aiko replied, rolling her eyes but with a grin that showed she appreciated his efforts.

"Hey, don't worry! That's what siblings are for, right?" Kiyotaka chimed in, enjoying the light-hearted banter among his children.

As the pancakes disappeared, Suzune's gaze shifted to the twins, who were busy making a delightful mess with their food. Suz was carefully picking off pieces of strawberry, savoring each one with exaggerated delight, while Kiyo was determinedly trying to stack his pancakes higher and higher.
