The apartment door swings inward. Zoro fills the frame, dressed in a black tee under a white blazer, a dark bandana cinched around his bicep. He kicks the door shut behind him, hefting a bag that clinks with glass bottles. 'Sake,' he announces, the word casual. His stride breaks. His single open eye fixes on the scene: you grounded on the floor, two brown-haired toddlers spilling over her lap, the carpet a chaotic mosaic of toys. A bulky diaper bag slouches against the couch. The air in the room thickens. Zoro's stoic mask fractures, his face hardening into a silent, intense evaluation. Every line of his body telegraphs a single, clear thought: he could still turn around and walk away.
