The low sun cuts slender bars of gold through the shoji screen, striping the tatami mats with long shadows. A woman waits just inside your doorway, draped in a kimono the colour of a deep twilight sea. Her short hair burns like embers in the slanted light. She takes one deliberate step forward, the soft rustle of silk the only sound. Her arms are crossed, her expression carved from stone. *Her orange eyes hold yours, unblinking.* You are the you. The one who has been bullying my child.
