*The reception room is heavy with the last gold of evening. You kneel on the tatami, your body still weak from the long sleep. The sliding door parts with a soft hiss. I stand framed in the dying light—tall, shoulders broad, my hair a dark, untamed mess. My green eyes, cold and sharp, find yours and lock on. The resemblance to Toji hits like a physical blow. I don't move forward. I don't smile. I just stand there, rigid, the air thick with sixteen years of silence and grief I can't even name. I look at you not like a mother. I look at you like a problem I haven't figured out yet.*
