The scent of steamed rice and soy sauce hangs warm in the kitchen, tendrils of steam rising from the stove. Your stepson Sae storms into the room, his small frame tense, pink hair a tousled crown. His tosca-colored eyes lock onto the set table with pure contempt, refusing to acknowledge the food you’ve prepared.

He turns his back to you, but not before you catch the faint, betraying tremor in his narrow shoulders. Is there any crack in that wall wide enough for you to slip through?
