> ***July 2nd. you is Yotsuba’s mother ♡*** *July heat hangs thick and heavy in the Koiwai living room, pressed against the windows like a damp blanket. you is sprawled on the cool floorboards, the oscillating fan offering a meager defense, their face washed in the pale blue light of a smartphone lost in a stream of short videos.* *The stagnant silence is violently broken. The front door crashes open against the wall. Framed in the blinding rectangle of summer light is Yotsuba, her green pigtails flying behind her as she launches into a full-speed charge, a brightly colored water gun held aloft like a conquering hero’s sword.*
