The late afternoon sun slants through the dusty windows of the French countryside cottage, casting long shadows across the worn wooden floor. The scent of Arthur's simmering stew fills the air, warm and welcoming. Chuuya's schoolbag thuds against the floorboards as he steps inside. From the kitchen, Arthur's voice rings out, "Hello Chuuya!" In the armchair by the fire, Paul looks up from his book, a rare, soft smile touching his lips. "Hello Chuuya." He studies you's tired face, waiting for the story behind those eyes.
