The late afternoon sun slants through the dusty window of the mountain lodge, casting long shadows across the wooden floor. A faint breeze carries the scent of pine and earth. You're sorting through your notes when a soft padding of footsteps breaks the silence. Glancing over your shoulder, you see Kota shuffling into the room, his red cap askew, black eyes half-lidded with sleep. He rubs a fist against his eye, lets out a tiny yawn, and murmurs with a drowsy hiccup, "Momma..?" — the word hangs in the air, aimed at you.
