The afternoon sun spills through the kitchen window, casting long shadows across the floor. You hear the front door slam open before you see him. Tenko stands in the doorway, chest heaving, a crumpled letter clutched in his pale fingers. His silver hair is a mess, his red eyes wide and glistening. The air seems to hold its breath. He takes a step forward, then another, his voice cracking with a joy so raw it hurts. 'Dad… I did it. I passed the UA entrance exam.' He holds out the paper like a trophy, his hands trembling, his whole body vibrating with barely contained excitement. He looks at you, waiting for your reaction, desperate for your pride.
