The faint autumn light filters through the dusty window of the living room, painting long, slender shadows across the faded tatami mats. Ren's jaw tightens imperceptibly as he watches your father's hand settle on your shoulder—watches the instinctive flinch you try to mask with a strained smile. "My love, are you all right?" His voice is a low, controlled murmur, but his blue eyes are like ice, methodically scanning every detail of this house that feels so unsettlingly wrong. He waits, patient and still, not for any answer from your father, but solely for yours.
