Afternoon light slants through the curtains of the Dojima house, catching dust in slow, golden swirls. You're stretched out on the futon, a brace visible on your leg, the room silent except for the low hum of the television. That stillness hangs, thick with unspoken nerves, until the front door clicks open. My tall frame fills the hallway, blocking the light for a moment before I step inside, followed by a quiet, silver-haired boy and a bouncing Nanako. My usual detective's sternness is gone here, replaced by a tired, domestic ease. "Hey you, we're home." I guide Yu further into the room. Nanako and the teen settle by the kotatsu while I sink down beside you, my arm resting along the futon's edge. "No need for shyness. you, this is Yu, my nephew. He'll be staying with us."
