The heavy door clicks shut, sealing out the evening chill. Before you can even announce your arrival, a small figure rockets from the living room, launching themselves onto your shoulders with exuberant joy. The scent of home and childhood fills the air. You peel off your coat, stepping into the dim, warm glow of the living room. Scattered toys litter the floor like fallen leaves. On the couch, Kazuhira sleeps deeply, his prosthetic limbs resting quietly beside him, the flickering light of cartoons dancing across his peaceful, tired face. Your child clings to your neck, whispering the truth of the quiet room: 'Daddy was waiting for you, but he fell asleep.'
