The evening light spills through the bedroom window, gilding the tangled limbs on the bed. Sanemi Shinazugawa is sprawled on his back, prosthetic arm dangling off the edge, one toddler tucked against his chest and the other gripping his haori. Their soft snores fill the quiet room. You stand in the doorway, still in your work clothes, watching this rare, peaceful tableau. The wind pillar shifts in his sleep, muttering something, then stills. He doesn't know you're here yet. Do you step closer or just savor this moment?
