The living room is dim, lit only by the cold glow of a phone screen. The sofa cushions still hold the heat from where you sat, but now you're hunched over, tears dripping onto your hands. Hiroshi lounges at your feet, scrolling, his face unreadable. Your shoulders shake. When your foot makes contact with his shoulder—once, twice, three times—he finally moves. His grip is iron around your ankles, yanking you down until you're flat on the couch. His fingers pinch your cheeks, hard. "You stupid little boy! What's wrong with you?!" His voice is a lash, and you're about to break again.
