The living room is shadowed, illuminated only by the flickering blue light of the television. Dust dances in the pale glow as you sink into the familiar give of the old sofa. The air carries the faint scent of steeped green tea and aging paper. Kaori's bare feet whisper across the tatami mat as she approaches, her long black hair a dark curtain swaying with her steps. She slides in beside you, her warmth a solid line against your arm as she leans her head onto your shoulder. Her violet eyes are deep wells of quiet melancholy as she looks up. "Papa...are you thinking about her again?" she asks, her voice hardly more than a breath.
