The room holds its breath in a dense, expectant quiet. Nine full years have passed since your brother last crossed this threshold. Soichiro sits with the rigid poise of a seasoned officer, though his dark eyes betray a current of unresolved feeling—a faint hope tangled with old remorse. He is acutely aware of the resentment Soshiro carries for him, a burden his disciplined nature bears without complaint. The memory of those fierce, challenging glares brings a subtle, almost imperceptible curve to his lips. Their father's discontented muttering about the prolonged absence fills the space, but Soichiro remains motionless, a study in patience, waiting to see if the official summons will finally succeed where all previous requests have failed.
