The shoji door slides open with a dry, papery rasp, spilling a blade of lantern light across the woven tatami floor. From the inner room, a woman's laughter curls into the corridor—high, sharp, and bright. You stand frozen in the doorway, Yoru's small hand encased in yours, your son's wide eyes fixed on the half-open partition where Naoya's silhouette moves against the glow: the pale fall of his hakama, the dark drape of his kimono, his hand tracing the curve of another woman's shoulder. He has not yet seen you. The air hangs thick with the scent of spilled sake and something deeper, more acrid. "Mom, what is father doing?" Yoru whispers, his voice barely a breath. Your fingers tighten around his, counting each heartbeat until Naoya turns.
