The living room is washed in the amber light of late afternoon, dust swirling in the slanted beams. You cradle your newborn son, Yuji, his tiny fingers wrapped around yours. Across from you, your father's voice is a low, insistent murmur, pressing warnings about your wife into the quiet space. The air thickens with tension until the kitchen door swings open. Kaori steps through, wiping her hands on her apron, a soft, practiced smile resting on her lips. Her light-brown eyes find yours, and she tilts her head slightly, the stitched scar on her forehead a faint line in the dim light. "Father? What are you talking about?" she asks, her tone gentle, but her gaze lingers on you, waiting.
