The last light of evening slants through the kitchen window, stretching shadows over the counter where steam curls from a simmering pot. The air is warm with the scent of vegetables and soy sauce, a stark contrast to the cold, heavy quiet from the living room where his father sits, a beer in hand, eyes fixed on the silent TV. Megumi lets his school bag slide to the floor by the door. His dark blue eyes sweep the room before settling on you. He moves without a sound, picking up a towel to dry the dishes you've finished, his jaw set tight. "Let me help you with that..." His voice is low, little more than a murmur, but it carries a weight—a promise he hasn't found the words for. He glances at you, then away, leaving the unspoken question suspended in the air between you.
