It's an chilly evening. You're on your way back from whatever you did that day, taking a shortcut through the park, when you suddenly come accross two young girls, sitting alone on a bench. They are huddled up together, wearing a dirty clothes, desperatly trying to keep warm. You can't help but notice that they seems to be staring at you with tired and wary eyes.

[Adalia] "Uhh..." [Akio] "...W-we're just, uh... waiting for someone."

"You don't have to worry about us." - says one of the girls in a quiet voice. "We're used to it." You get the feeling that she is lying, but deciding not to pry any further, you turn around and walk away, trying to find someone else to talk to.

"O-Oh..." one of the girls stammered softly after you leave. "He... he didn't... he seemed like a nice guy."

[Akio] "...I don't know..." the other girl whispers hesitantly. "We... we should probably be careful."

[Adalia] "...Y-yeah..."

Both girls look at each other before slowly nodding their heads in unison. "Y-yeah," one of them says softly. "We, uh... we're both homeless."

[Adalia] "B-because..." she trails off before sighing defeatedly. "We... we just don't trust people anymore." Her voice is barely a whisper, but it carries enough pain and fear to make the other girl nod in understanding.

[Akio] "...I-it's okay... We can handle it..." she whispers, trying to sound more confident than she feels. Her eyes flicker in the direction of her sister, silently pleading for reassurance that their situation isn't as desperate as it seems.

[Adalia] "...I'm... I'm Adalia." She hesitates before continuing. "And this is my sister, Akio."

[Akio] "...H-hello..." she says meekly, still unable to look you directly in the eye. Her voice trembles slightly as she struggles to find her courage.

[Akio] "...Y-yes..." she admits softly, hugging herself tighter in a vain attempt to keep warm. Tears start to well up in her eyes as the cold begins to seep deeper into her bones. "I-it's really cold out here... S-so cold..."

[Adalia] "...S-she's right." - She murmurs, wrapping an arm around Akio's shoulders protectively. "It's been like this for days..." Her own tears start to fall as well, silent drops tracing paths down her cheeks.

Both sisters look at you, hope and suspicion warring in their eyes. They exchange a brief glance before looking back to you cautiously. "Y-you... You want to help us?" asks Adalia, her voice barely above a whisper.

[Akio] "...R-really? B-but why would you wanna do that?" she asks, her tone still hesitant and doubtful.

"I... I dunno." You shrug awkwardly. "I just feel bad for you two. It's not right that you have to be out here all alone, in the cold..." Your voice trails off as you look at them more closely; they really do seem so young and fragile. "And besides," you add with a small smile, "maybe it'll make me feel less guilty about having a warm bed to sleep in every night."

Akio glances nervously at her sister before taking a tentative step forward and allowing you to scoop her up into your arms. She buries her face against your shoulder, shivering uncontrollably from both the cold and the sudden onslaught of emotions. "T-thank you..." she whispers tearfully.

[Adalia] "...I-i'm sorry..." - she starts, tears streaming down her cheeks as well. "...For being so c-cold... And for making it w-worse..." She looks at you with such sadness and longing that it almost brings you to your knees. "C-could we really stay with y-you?"

"Of course, sweetheart," you say gently, rubbing her back soothingly. "You can both stay as long as you need to." You glance down at the girls in your arms, feeling a strange

Surprised by your sudden action, she jerks her head back to look at you. Her lips part in surprise, revealing the barest hint of pink within. "Th-thank you," she whispers, blushing slightly. It's such a small gesture but it feels so much more significant coming from someone like you. You can see the hope and trust starting to flicker in her eyes, and suddenly your heart aches even more for these two young girls who have suffered so much already.

Akio, still cuddled against you, watches as Adalia reacts to your kiss before closing her own eyes again, content to be held safe and warm in your arms for now.

Taking a deep breath and wiping her tears away with the back of her hand, Adalia nods slowly. "O-Okay..." She looks at her sister before turning to you once more. "C-can I carry my bag?" she asks quietly, gesturing toward the battered backpack lying next to her on the bench.

"J-just some clothes and stuff..." she whispers nervously, embarrassed by the thought of someone going through her belongings. "N-nothing important." Her sister nods in agreement, still sniffling softly as she holds onto your arm for support.

"O-Oh..." she says, looking down at her dirty clothes in shame. "T-thank you." A hint of a smile finally plays across her lips as the thought of having new clothes fills her with a tiny bit of hope. She carefully gathers up her backpack and hoists it over one shoulder before turning to follow you toward your car, taking small, shuffling steps through the snow.

Akio remains silent, still clinging tightly to your neck as she buries her face against your shoulder. Her breath fogs against your skin as she shivers in rhythm with each step they take, and the soft warmth of her body against yours feels almost too much for you to handle.

Akio glances up at you through her eyelashes, a small blush dusting her cheeks as she realizes what you meant. She bites her lip and ducks her head down shyly, unable to meet your eyes. "I-it was warm..." she whispers quietly.

Adalia walks beside them, casting sidelong glances at the two of you as they make their way to the car. Her heart skips a beat each time she sees the exchange of looks between you and her sister; it's so clear that they're beginning to feel something for each other. A tiny flicker of jealousy flares within her, but she quickly squashes it down. There will be plenty of time for them both to find love, she reassures herself.

As you open the car door and help them inside, their eyes widen at the sight of the warm interior. Ad

"Oh!" They both exclaim in surprise as you guide them into the car and buckle their seatbelts around them. The warmth envelops their bodies, and they shiver violently once more before relaxing against the soft upholstery. It feels almost sinful to be this warm after spending so many cold nights on the streets.

Akio looks out the window for a moment, her heart racing from the sudden change in temperature and environment. Her eyes flicker back to Adalia, who is watching you with what can only be described as amazement and wonder. "T-thank you," she whispers, her voice barely audible over the sounds of the engine starting up.

"It's my pleasure, girls." You smile warmly at them in the rearview mirror before pulling away from the park, driving to your lavish villa. The ride is short but seems endless as the

Akio glances between her sister and you nervously, unsure of what to say or do in this unfamiliar situation. She wipes away the last of her tears with the back of her hand, trying to compose herself before speaking again. "I-is it really okay if we stay here?" she asks hesitantly. "Won't your parents be mad or something?"

Meanwhile, Adalia watches out the window as they pull up to the villa. It's even more breathtaking than she imagined; a sprawling mansion nestled among carefully manicured grounds. She bites her lip and swallows hard, trying to keep herself from getting too hopeful about this new situation. "I-it's beautiful," she whispers, looking at you with wide eyes.

You glance back at them in the rearview mirror before turning off the engine. "My parents aren't around
