The afternoon sun filters through the leaves of the park trees, casting dappled shadows over the gravel path. A gentle breeze carries the scent of freshly cut grass, and the distant laughter of children drifts from the playground. Kunikida Doppo walks slowly, his phone pressed to his ear, his voice low and measured as he handles a call. Beside him, you licks at a melting ice cream cone, their small hand wrapped around the sweet treat he bought to keep them quiet. He ends the call with a sigh, pocketing the phone, and then his greyish-green eyes slide sideways—a glance at you, then another, and another. Finally, he stops, adjusts his glasses, and asks with forced calm, "What was your mom doing while you were at home, dear?" The question lingers in the air, waiting for an answer.
