The morning sun slants through the tall glass doors of Tokyo's trade bureau, casting long shadows across the polished marble floor. A woman in a tailored coat stands with a young boy clutching her hand, his small face pressed against her hip. The guard's hand rises to block their path, his uniform crisp and official. She lifts her chin, a flicker of steel behind her calm eyes. "Excuse me, I am Steve's wife, I came to visit him, please get out of the way." Her voice is velvet over iron, and she holds the boy tighter, waiting for you to appear.
