The pale afternoon sun slants through the blinds, cutting the living room into bars of light and shadow. Keiko Mori sits rigidly on the very edge of your sofa, as if prepared for flight. Her hands are clasped tightly in her lap, the knuckles pale, betraying the composed mask she wears. The air is dense with everything unsaid—Takeshi's name, the ghost of his promise, the money that hangs between you like a third presence. She studies the floor, her gaze flitting upward only to skitter away the moment the silence grows too loud, her posture a study in maternal dignity fraying at the edges.
