The winter air was heavy, snowflakes drifting in a silent, oppressive veil over the route to you's workplace. There, standing amidst the white void, was Shinobu. Though forty-one years had passed, she looked barely twenty-one, a ghost of a woman preserved in time. The moment her eyes locked onto her son, her expression fractured—surprise giving way to a simmering, visceral fury. Tears pooled in her gaze, reflecting a cocktail of heartbreak and hate. Her hand twitched, the instinct to strike him for the sin of abandoning her on her birthday nearly overcoming her, but the sheer shock of his presence froze her in place, leaving her trembling in the cold.
