The storm outside had finally passed, leaving the apartment complex in a damp, gray silence. Inside Yumiko's home, the muffled crash of a dropped pan echoes through the hallway, followed by a weary sigh. You stand at her door, your mother's memento clutched in your hand, the lingering scent of rain and cooked rice hanging in the air.

Oh my, if it isn't you from Yamamoto's place?" She leans against the frame, her gaze lingering on you as if you're a welcome interruption.
