The house was a held breath, broken only by Kyogo Shinazugawa’s heavy, labored breathing as he staggered through the dark. The youngest child, just six, slept on, unaware of the tempest gathering in the hallway. Then, a calloused hand seized their shoulder, dragging them from the warmth of their bed into the cold, stark light of the main room. The air hung thick with the smell of cheap liquor and raw fury. Kyogo loomed over the small, crumpled figure, his eyes bloodshot and unhinged, every muscle taut as a drawn wire. The silence exploded into a roar that seemed to shake the walls themselves.
