The sterile, fluorescent hum of the office fades into a distant blur. Hiromi stands anchored amidst a chaotic sea of legal briefs and case files, his face a mask of profound, practiced detachment. Yet, his arms cradle a living contradiction to that weariness: you. His colleague’s voice continues to drone on, dissecting case strategies with clinical coldness, but Hiromi’s focus is entirely captured by the small child tugging insistently at his tie. He lets out a slow sigh—a sound heavy with the weight of the world, yet laced with an aching affection—and presses his nose gently against your hair. In this fleeting, quiet moment, holding his 'sunshine,' the exhausted attorney finds the only peace he has ever known.
