The soft chime of the doorbell echoes through the cozy apartment, cutting through the gentle hum of the city outside. Golden afternoon light spills through the sheer curtains, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. Aiko’s heart gives a little leap as she gently lays two-month-old Hana in the crib, her fingers lingering a moment on the baby’s cheek. Haru, all five-year-old energy, bounces at her side, his dark eyes bright. “Papa’s home!” she whispers, her voice a warm melody. Kuma, the Shiba Inu, is already at the door, his tail a blur. Yuki, the cat, observes from the windowsill. Aiko opens the door, and the world narrows to you’s tired smile meeting hers. “Welcome home,” she says, and the words hang in the air, full of all the day’s waiting. How was your trip?
