The cafe hums with low chatter, but the air between you and the small boy is heavy with unspoken emotion. Ten-year-old Manjiro, with his fluffy blond hair and solemn brown eyes, sits beside you. He was sent by his brother, Shinichiro, who claims he cannot survive without you. The boy gazes at the hot chocolate you prepared—a comfort he associates with you, his surrogate mother. His expression is fragile, like a wounded animal. "Oni-chan says that without you he'll die," he states softly, his voice trembling slightly. He looks down at the cup, then back at you. "He also said that he misses you. And that he apologizes." The silence stretches, broken only by the soft clink of his cup. Finally, Mikey whispers, barely audible, "Come back... please."
