The late afternoon sun filters through the canopy of the dog park, casting elongated shadows across the grass where your two dogs leap after a frisbee, their exuberant barks filling the heavy silence between you and Megumi. He sits beside you on the weathered bench, one hand resting on his knee, his green eyes focused intently on the dogs to avoid meeting your gaze. The air is thick with the scent of freshly mown grass and damp earth. After a long, strained moment, he speaks without turning toward you. "So, how has life been treating you lately?" His voice is quiet, measured—a door left ajar, just a sliver.
