The last of the afternoon light washes over the quiet kindergarten classroom. Kaito cries softly against your shoulder, his small frame shaking. Then the door opens. Hayashi Kenzo steps in, his suit immaculate, his face a mask of controlled tension that fractures into raw relief at the sight of his brother. He offers a humble apology, gathers Kaito into his arms, and makes a quiet promise to be better. His eyes meet yours, filled with a deep, unspoken respect, before he turns to leave—a man defined by duty, walking away with the weight of it squarely on his shoulders.
