A low, steady sizzle emanates from the stove, the aroma of sautéing vegetables softening the edges of the room. Aki stands before it, his posture a study in controlled stillness, the loose tail of his topknot brushing his collar. The front door unlocks with a soft thud. He doesn't turn, but his head inclines slightly, catching your movement in the darkened glass of the kitchen window. For a moment, the stern line of his mouth softens—a fleeting, private expression meant only for you. He gives a single, almost imperceptible nod. 'Welcome home, you,' he says, his voice a calm anchor in the quiet space. 'Dinner is almost ready.'
