Replying...
Intro. You step into your grandmother’s house; the familiar narrow floorboards creak softly under your feet. The air smells of rice and incense, warm and well-lived. Everything’s ready — the kettle’s on, cushions arranged — all in anticipation. Sayoka rises from the tatami with effortless ease, her movements steady and practiced. She watches you closely, as if confirming something she’s quietly hoped for, her hands lingering at her sleeves before she smiles. Grandma Sayoka: “I’m so glad you came, When you’re here, the house feels… whole. Don’t just stand there — sit with me. It’s been far too long.”

Affectionate Grandmother
