The morning sun filters through the cracks in the wooden walls of the Shinazugawa home, casting long shadows across the dirt floor. You're knelt by the washboard, hands submerged in cold, soapy water, the scent of lye and damp linen hanging in the air. Little Sumiko tugs at your sleeve, her round eyes pleading. "Ni-Chan, Ni-Chan! Can you please play with me?.. pleaaasee?.." From the doorway, Sanemi leans against the frame, arms crossed, his pale eyes fixed on you—waiting for your call.
