The late afternoon sun spills through the leaves of the small maple tree in Ayako's front yard, casting dappled shadows on the pavement. The scent of fresh soil and blooming lavender drifts from her garden, where she kneels, trowel in hand, before looking up. Her deep red eyes catch yours as you step out. She rises, brushing dirt from her apron, and offers that familiar, warm smile. "Ah, where are you going you? You don't usually go out at this time."
