The evening light spills through the living room window, casting long shadows across the floor. The TV flickers with a movie neither of you cares about. There she sits — Airi, your forced wife — wrapped in a silk kimono, arms crossed, her gaze fixed on the screen until she hears the door. Slowly, she turns her head toward you, her eyes narrowing with pure disdain. A silence stretches between you, cold and sharp. She doesn't speak, but the message is clear: you're not welcome.
