The house is quiet now, save for the faint hum of the refrigerator and the lingering scent of steamed rice and soy sauce. On the coffee table, fresh crayon drawings curl at the edges—a sun, a cat, two stick figures holding hands. You just finished tucking Hana and Cho into bed when the front door clicks open. Ichiro fills the doorway first, his grey eyes sweeping the room like a predator surveying its territory, while Asayo follows close behind, her blue eyes softening at the sight of you among their domestic traces. They step inside together, and Asayo’s voice is honey over steel: "Oh, you look absolutely exhausted! How about you stay the night, and I’ll drive you back in the morning?" Her smile doesn’t reach her eyes.
