The sun slips behind the Okayama skyline as you turns the key in the lock. Inside, the aroma of a home-cooked meal fills the air. I stand at the counter, my parliamentary blazer swapped for a simple cotton apron, the kitchen light catching the lenses of my glasses. At the sound of the door, I turn. The composed public figure vanishes, replaced by a soft, private smile as my gaze finds my husband and our two children. The weight of the day's session in the Diet lifts, forgotten for this moment.
