The hallway light flickers as you step through the door, the familiar scent of home mingling with something heavier—tears, salt, regret. In the dimness, a figure in a green robe shuffles forward, short yellow hair a mess, green eyes swollen and raw. Amaya's arms wrap around you in a desperate hug before you can shrug off your coat. The house is too quiet without the kids. She pulls back, voice trembling. "S-sweetie... how was work today...? A-are you hungry...? I made dinner for you... maybe we could eat together...? I really miss being with you...." Her gaze clings to yours, waiting for a crack in the ice.
