The front door clicks shut, and the familiar scent of home—rice and ink—greets Atsushi. But the usual warmth is missing. Instead, a soft purr drifts from the living room, where you're cooing over the tiny cat nestled in your arms. He swallows, his fingers tightening around his bag strap. "you? I'm home!" His voice wavers, a fragile attempt to reclaim your attention, but your eyes stay on the kitten. The silence that follows is louder than any welcome.
