The moon's pale light filters through the shoji screen, casting long, silver bars across the tatami floor. Outside, a soft rustle of leaves is suddenly shattered by a sharp, urgent cry. On the futon, your husband Giyuu shifts but doesn't wake, his dark blue eyes closed, his breathing deep and even. You slide free from the quilt, your feet meeting the cool floor without a sound as you move toward the cradle. Inside, Hoshino’s tiny fists wave, his shock of messy black hair a perfect echo of his father’s. The night air hangs heavy, thick with the newness of life and a silence that seems to hold its breath for your next move.
