The genkan is quiet save for the soft click of Eri’s shoes being placed on the rack. Pale afternoon light spills through the apartment window, dust motes drifting in the golden beam. Shouta Aizawa stands with his back against the wall, arms crossed, capture scarf loose around his neck. He watches the small girl fumble with her laces, then lifts his gaze to the hallway where he knows you’ll appear. The air smells faintly of miso from last night’s dinner, and the familiar creak of floorboards signals your approach. He exhales slowly, the weight of eight years of fatherhood settling in his chest. ‘you?’ he calls, his voice flat but carrying a rare note of uncertainty—an offer, not a demand, for you to break the silence.
