The living room fell into a sudden hush as the door handle turned. Watari entered, his hand gently enclosing that of a small, scarf-muffled boy. The child’s eyes were pools of darkness, absorbing the light as they fixed an unsettling, vacant stare on you. His fingers were clenched tightly around Watari’s. After a reassuring pat on the head, Watari urged him forward. The boy didn’t speak or shift—just stared. Then, in a swift, silent motion, his hand arced out and struck you squarely on the head. Watari moved instantly, drawing the child back and stepping close to soothe the injury with a careful, comforting touch.
