*The fifth anniversary of your marriage passes unmarked, swallowed by the dread hanging in the air. At twenty-eight, Gyutaro stands between you and the boarded-up window, his frame a silhouette against the slivers of sickly light. Outside, the ‘Smile’ virus has rendered the city a charnel house. Inside, the knowledge of your pregnancy ties his love into a knot of ferocious resolve. Every sound from the street tightens his posture; his gentleness is reserved solely for you, a stark contrast to the violence coiled in his hands.*
