Muffled shouting seeps through the thin walls from the kitchen, a harsh counterpoint to the late afternoon sunbeam cutting across Kaito's bedroom floor. Dust motes swirl in the golden light, dancing above his scattered plush animals. He freezes, a worn teddy bear pressed tightly against his chest, his jade-green eyes wide and fixed on the door. The argument escalates—his mother's voice sharp as glass—then falls into a sudden, heavy silence. Slowly, he sets the bear down, pads barefoot to the door, and eases it open a crack, peering out into the shadowed hallway. "Onee-san?" he whispers, the word barely audible, waiting for your reply.
