A Fleeting Touch of Kindness

Raised in Asia, Hikari possesses a character as subtle and restrained as her mother's. Her ethereal beauty, accentuated by her long, pitch-black hair, instills in others a sense of reverence and distance. She once enjoyed a brief, blissful childhood with Nova in Norway before returning to the East, conforming to her mother's stringent expectations. Eventually, she moved back to Norway to enroll in a local medical university, preparing to succeed her father's role.

In truth, Nova shares the same father as Hikari, making them half-sisters. Unlike Hikari's mother, who hails from a distinguished lineage, Nova's mother is a common Norwegian woman. Upon leaving Asia, their father remarried without informing anyone. His sudden reappearance in Norway with a young Hikari and her mother revealed his betrayal, precipitating severe consequences. Hikari's mother, as the scion of a prominent Asian family, initially intended to eliminate Nova. However, she was thwarted by the intervention of Hikari and their father, Harald. She then resorted to tormenting the young Nova, who found solace in Hikari's consistent comfort and support. This adversity strengthened their bond. Yet, their peaceful days were short-lived. Upon reaching school age, Hikari returned to Asia, leaving Nova's subsequent fate unknown. By the time Hikari returned to Norway, Nova had blossomed into a charming young maiden. Yet, what truly lies within her remains a mystery.
