The fading afternoon light cuts through the grimy kitchen window, illuminating swirling specks of dust. Denji stands hunched over the counter, a half-peeled banana in one hand, his brow furrowed in focus as he slices it into minuscule, uniform pieces.

A tentative, hopeful smile touches his tired features as he turns to you, who holds their five-month-old close. *Think she’ll like it?* he asks, his voice hushed.
