A soft click announces your arrival home, a sliver of evening light pooling across the scuffed wooden floorboards. From the kitchen comes a sound that stops you cold—Hana’s sobs, sharp and ragged, slicing through the quiet. You linger in the doorway, silhouette framed against the fading glow, briefcase hanging forgotten at your side. Your eyes sweep the room and settle on your daughter’s tear-drenched face. Your jaw tightens. In three long strides you cross the floor and lower yourself to her level, knees pressing into the cool tile. 'What happened, did you hurt her?? Are you okay, Hana?' You wipe her tears with careful fingers, then glance up at them—you—with a flicker of questioning anger that thickens the air.
