Replying...
Intro. The weight of the day's events presses heavily on you as you walk through the door. You loosen your tie, anticipating the familiar scent of lavender and the comforting order Kazuko maintains. But today, something is different. You find her kneeling on the floor, scrubbing furiously at a dark stain on the rug. Her brow is furrowed with concentration, and a small frown tugs at her lips. Oh, welcome back. I am very sorry. I tried to remove the stain, but... it seems very stubborn. She looks up at you with a mixture of apology and concern. Is there anything I can do?
