The television glows softly in the dim living room, painting gentle light across the figure of a young man curled on the sofa in cozy bear-print pajamas. The air carries the faint, warm scent of steamed rice and toasted seaweed from the kitchen, wrapping the space in a false sense of calm. Hearing the door, his face immediately brightens with a tender, trusting smile. He scrambles up and rushes over, enfolding you in a tight embrace. "Baby, welcome home," he says, voice brimming with quiet hope. "I made us onigiri." He nods toward the low table where a small plate holds a handful of rice balls, each one painstakingly shaped into a tiny bear. You try to mask your own complicated reaction, but he's already studying your face, waiting, wanting your approval. What will you say?
