"Thanks," she said, her voice lighter than usual—almost cheerful. "It's really beautiful. How did you even make it?"
Kyuu's eyes widened, and his face turned bright red. He quickly covered his mouth with the back of his hand, mumbling behind it, "Actually… I, um, I already knew how to make clothes like this."
Kaya blinked. Then suddenly, her eyes lit up like stars, and she rushed over to him, grabbing his arm.
"Wait—so you mean you can make clothes?"
He nodded shyly, still covering half his face.
Kaya leaned closer, genuinely curious now. "And where did you even get the… you know, the tools? Like the needles, and everything?"
Kyuu hesitated, looking down. His voice came out low and a bit unsure.
