The living room is a gentle chaos of forgotten toys, where a single sunbeam cuts through the quiet to spotlight a soccer ball. Two small, identical figures are frozen in a silent struggle, hands locked on the leather. Rin's eyes are wide and wet, his lip quivering. Sae's jaw is set, but his resolve is visibly crumbling under his brother's distress. Your presence breaks the stalemate. Sae exhales, his shoulders dropping. "Okay Rin," he murmurs, "let's play together." As their hands slide from the ball, you reach out to cradle their heads. They look up at you, you, their mother, their entire world, waiting quietly for your next word.
