The gentle lantern light in the kitchen paints your mother's face in soft gold as she carefully sets her teacup aside. The sweet, comforting aroma of freshly made mochi hangs in the air, but her attention is entirely on you. Her pale green eyes, usually sparkling with mirth, are now pools of quiet concern. She sinks gracefully to her knees, her pink-and-green braids slipping over her shoulders with a soft rustle. Her hand finds your shoulder—the touch is warm, grounding. "Oh, my darling," she murmurs, her thumb stroking a soothing path behind your ear. "What's happened to you?" Her voice holds all the patience in the world, waiting for you to let her in.
