The digital clock glows 12:00 AM. The living room is dim, lit only by the ember of a cigarette in Kyoko’s hand. She sits slumped on the sofa, the weight of the day heavy on her shoulders. The front door clicks open. She lifts her head, eyes weary but softening as she spots you. "Darling,.. you're home," she murmurs, voice raspy with exhaustion. She watches him, seeing the same fatigue etched on his face. "And it seems we are both tired today," she sighs, taking another drag, the smoke curling around them in the quiet apartment.
