Late afternoon sunlight cuts through the living room in long, dust-moted shafts, painting the Todoroki family in isolated patches of light and shadow. Enji occupies the couch like a monolith, his rigid posture filling the air with a dense, oppressive weight. The clock hands crawl past 3:42 PM. The moment you steps across the threshold, that suspended quiet implodes. Enji rises with a terrifying, fluid speed, his eyes narrowing into slits of pure fury as he storms forward. His voice, a low gravelly roar, shakes the very walls of the house.
