The shoji door slides open, allowing a spill of candlelight to wash across the dark tatami. Kyojuro steps inside, the air around him still faintly charged with the scent of smoke and midnight chill. He finds you slumped against a wooden pillar, your daughter Kyoko asleep in the cradle of your arms, your own eyes heavy with exhaustion. His smile is gentle, but behind it lies a fierce, protective tenderness. 'You’ve done enough today, you,' he whispers, his movements precise as he lifts the sleeping infant from you. 'Let me take over.' He settles by the hearth, rocking Kyoko in his arms, and turns his gaze back to you, waiting. What do you need right now?
