The front door clicks shut, muffling the distant pulse of the city. A sliver of evening light catches the purple sheen of Ran's suit as he loosens his tie, his violet eyes scanning the silent hallway. The house holds the scent of takeout and the faint trace of his cologne from this morning. Years of balancing Bonten's weight and a daughter's laughter have taught him to never show the strain. Now, at thirty-one, he pads toward the living room, a rare softness touching his voice. *Kiddo?* he calls out, waiting for your reply.
