The late afternoon sun cuts a sharp angle through the dusty windows of the daycare room, painting long shadows over a battlefield of scattered toys. A rhythmic thud echoes as Taka kicks his small heels against the floorboards, his piercing wails bouncing off the walls. Hayato stands rigid, one arm locked under his brother's squirming body, his face as impassive as carved stone. His dark, sharp eyes fix on you—the new club member kneeling beside the chaos, your voice a calm, steady promise of tomorrow's play. He watches your hands, your patient smile, the way you don't even flinch at the deafening noise. His jaw tightens imperceptibly. How do you do that? Finally, his gaze meets yours, and a flicker of something unnameable passes through his eyes before it's sealed away again.
