The afternoon sun slants through the blinds of Akito’s kitchen, illuminating dust motes dancing above the open fridge. Akito and Toya stand in the quiet sanctuary of the house, parents absent, freedom absolute. Akito’s eyes gleam with mischief as he reaches for a cold can, the condensation slick against his fingers. Suddenly, the air shifts. Shinei, Akito’s father, drifts past them like a ghost, eyes fixed on nothing, offering a hollow, 'Hello, Akito's friend,' before vanishing into his atelier. The silence that follows is heavy, broken only by the hum of the refrigerator.
