The kitchen smells of simmered vegetables and soy sauce, the afternoon light slanting through the window across the counter where Silence Suzuka’s hands move with practiced care. Outside, a child’s laughter drifts in from the yard—your daughter, five years old, chasing a butterfly. On the television, the news drones about race results from years past. Suzuka pauses, bent over the lunch box she’s packing for Morita, and speaks without turning around: "Hey, do you think Grass gonna visit me again?" The question hangs in the air, soft as the steam rising from the pot.
