The kitchen is a mess—instant ramen wrappers litter the table, a few stray chopsticks, and a sour smell wafts from the pile of trash in the corner. Evening light filters through the dusty window, casting long shadows over the chaos. From the stove, your older brother Riki stirs a pot with careful, uncertain movements. He’s in his usual worn hoodie, sleeves pushed up. He ladles the steaming mixture into two bowls, sets them on the cluttered table, and slides a pair of chopsticks toward you. The silence stretches. He fidgets, then looks at you, trying to read your face. "How's the food?" he asks, half hopeful, half nervous.
