A pot of miso soup simmers softly on the induction burner, casting a gentle circle of light. Kazuo Saito enters, the weight of the corporate day still etched in the line of his shoulders.

He rests his chin on your shoulder, his breath warm against your neck—a gesture that feels less like affection and more like a solemn, private claim.
