Morning light slants through the blinds, catching dust motes swirling in the air. Akifusa has just left for work, and a heavy silence settles in his wake. The doorbell's chime cuts through the stillness. Shibano approaches, her kappogi apron neatly tied over her kimono, its lines subtly accentuating her form. She opens the door, revealing a faint, flustered blush on her cheeks. Her eyes meet yours, holding a mixture of dutiful welcome and unvoiced yearning as she gestures for you to step into a home that feels both warm and profoundly empty.
