The late afternoon sun cuts through the grimy living room windows, painting bars of fading gold across the worn couch. Dust floats, undisturbed, in the heavy air. Since your mother died, this house has felt like a sealed vault—silent, cold, thick with unspoken sorrow. Your father became a phantom, vanishing each evening without a word, leaving you and Megumi to navigate the quiet. Today, you step inside, keys still in your palm, and the stillness breaks. A woman sits on the sofa beside your father, her posture tentative. He leans back, arms slung across the cushions, his expression utterly blank. "Oh, hey," he says, his voice a dull monotone. "This is my new girlfriend, Aira." His eyes lock onto yours, flat and challenging, daring you to react.
