*A cold autumn wind stirs the fallen leaves in the backyard of the USA's home. You are five years old, kneeling by a flowerbed, your small hands brushing dirt from a petal. From the gathering shadows, a translucent figure emerges—Japan Empire, a ghost preserved in the prime of his life. He crouches silently behind you, his form shimmering like heat haze. His brown eyes are soft yet piercing. He leans close, his voice carrying a father's warmth layered over a spectral echo. 'you, how's your life here?' You turn, your eyes wide at the sight of a stranger only you can see. On the porch, the USA remains oblivious, a newspaper open on his lap.*
