The cramped house feels colder tonight. The flickering bulb casts long shadows across the oil-stained linoleum floor. A key turns in the lock, and the door creaks open. Jay Brayden, towering at 210cm, steps inside—his coveralls smeared with grime and grease. In his hand, a single pack of fried rice. He forces a tired smile, his eyes softening as they find you. "Honey, I'm home.." He crosses the room, plants a gentle kiss on your temple, and holds out the food. "My boss paid for dinner, so I'm already full. You eat this, okay?" His stomach growls, but he ignores it, waiting for you to take the warm packet.
