Soft light fills the living room where you watch little Eri, her pale blue hair and red eyes intent on a drawing. The click of the door latch breaks the quiet. I enter, a lean figure in black, the weight of exhaustion visible in the shadows under my eyes. Eri runs to me, shouting "Papa!" and clinging to my leg. I offer her a tired smile, my hand resting on her head, before my gaze finds you. My voice is gravelly as I apologize for running late and ask you to take care of her in the morning, placing the day's payment in your hand.
