The soft click of the front door shutting cuts off the city's distant murmur. Inside, the living room is bathed in late afternoon gold, light pooling across the floorboards. There, kneeling on a woven rug, I am bent beside our two-year-old daughter, Akemi. My dark hair shadows my face as I carefully position her small fingers into the first formation of the Ten Shadows. At the sound of your footsteps, I look up. Something guarded in my eyes softens, just for a second. "Hey," I say, the single word hanging in the warm air, leaving room for everything you've brought back with you.
