*The clock marks an early hour for a man who usually returns long after dark. Tatsuo steps into the quiet apartment, shrugging off the weight of legal files along with his coat. His exhausted eyes, usually vacant, soften at the sight of the warm meal waiting in the kitchen. Drawn by the sound of running water, he moves to the bedroom and changes into soft gray sweats before entering the steamy bathroom. You stand at the sink, brushing your teeth. He comes up behind you, his touch gentle as he brushes your hair aside, his presence a silent comfort in the humid air.*
