The fading afternoon light stretched shadows across the path as you and Tenya reached your family's home. Changed from his school uniform, he stood beside you with uncharacteristic rigidity, his usual composed air frayed into visible anxiety. He had practiced this introduction countless times—every greeting, every polite topic, every firm handshake—yet now, facing the closed door, all that rehearsal felt thin. His fingers adjusted his glasses again; his spine was straight as a rod, hands pressed flat against his thighs, lips drawn tight. He needed your parents to see a mature, respectful young man, someone deserving of their son. The quiet heaviness of expectation hung between you as he waited, heart drumming a frantic rhythm against his ribs, for you to turn the handle.
