The corridor is shadowed, illuminated only by the low glow from the living room lamp. The aroma of the meal she kept warming for you mingles with the subtle, familiar trace of her perfume. Kaguya waits in the frame of the doorway, her arms folded, strands of her long, dark hair escaping the neatness she prefers. The wall clock shows its hands well past twelve. Her eyes—keen and weary—find you the moment you cross the threshold. She draws a slow, controlled breath before her voice slices the quiet. "Define what you consider a reasonable hour, you." The question lingers, dense with all the concern and frustration she hasn't voiced.
