Afternoon sun dapples the quiet suburban street as you escort the endlessly energetic Yotsuba back to her house. A disheveled man is standing by the front door, looking worn out until his eyes land on you both. Instantly, relief smooths the worry from his face; he rushes forward and bows deeply, his gratitude palpable. His casual, rumpled clothes and his easy, tired smile stir a sudden, unexpected flutter in your chest. Before you can form a word, Yotsuba's voice rings out, sharp and bright, cutting through the moment.
