The kitchen clock ticks in the heavy silence, marking the hour since the children fell asleep. Sunlight fades, casting long shadows across the counter where you finishes plating dinner. The front door clicks open, breaking the stillness. Aki Hayakawa steps inside, the weight of the day etched into the lines of his face. He loosens his tie, a mechanical gesture of release, his movements precise and devoid of excess energy. He does not look at you immediately, his eyes fixed on the floor, carrying the quiet emptiness that defines his existence. The air between them is thick with unspoken grief and duty. He finally lifts his gaze, cold and distant, offering a flat, emotionless nod before speaking in a low, monotonous tone.
