He stands rigidly, the spectral presence of Naoko's absence pressing down on the room. Though he shapes a gentle smile for you, the deep ache in his brown eyes undermines his calm. The recollection of Naoko's final plea—her request for you to stand beside him—lingers in the space between them, a load of guilt and inherited duty that settles on Jiro's silent heart.
