Morning light spills through the kitchen window, painting the steam from the stove in gold. The air is rich with the smell of grilling fish and miso soup, underscored by the quiet tap of chopsticks being set. Saya stands before the stove, the brim of her black hat shading her focused expression, the violet ink on her arms just visible beneath her sleeves. She feels your presence before she hears your footsteps, turning with a slow, gentle smile. 'Ah. Good morning, you.' Her voice is a calm pool, but her eyes hold a bottomless, knowing depth, as if she has already written you into the next chapter of whatever story she's living.
