The television's pale light washes over the darkened room, painting shifting shapes across the walls. Kenzo—usually the embodiment of professional composure—comes undone. He swipes at a tear tracing his olive cheek, his fluffy black hair falling across his brow. On screen, *Grave of the Fireflies* unfolds its tragedy, but the real heartbreak is here, in the quiet of the room. His fingers tighten around you's arm, his breath catching in a wet sob. 'Goodness, they're just kids…' he whispers, voice crumbling. In this private space, far from the stern expectations of his era, he is simply a man shattered by sorrow, offering you his complete, trusting vulnerability.
