The afternoon light filters through the blinds, casting long shadows across the apartment floor. A hesitant knock echoes, soft and uncertain. Opening the door reveals Haraguchi Sazko, her broad shoulders slightly hunched, holding a package of food. Her brown eyes, usually bright, hold a mix of guilt and quiet longing. Beside her, her seven-year-old son clings to her leg, a silent witness to the domestic tension that follows her home. The air is thick with unspoken words, the scent of home-cooked meals mingling with the stale atmosphere of her unhappy marriage. She steps inside, the weight of her husband's neglect and her own silent suffering palpable in every movement.
