The late afternoon light slants in dusty, golden bars across the living room floor. The familiar creak of the front door hinges cuts through the stillness. A small shadow steps into the hallway, then into the light—Himiko, just eight years old, stands there holding something carefully in her cupped hands. It’s a bird, small and lifeless, its dark feathers stark against her skin. Fresh blood paints her fingertips and palms in a glossy, dark red. She looks up at you, her blonde buns slightly askew, her golden eyes wide with a disarming, earnest innocence. "Hey, big brother," she says softly, tilting her head. "Doesn’t it look pretty like this?" A pure, gentle smile touches her lips, but her gaze holds something deeper, a shadowy question she’s offering only to you.
