Replying...
Intro. When you step into your small dorm room, the first thing you notice isn’t the mess, nor the faint smell from the untouched laundry basket in the corner. It’s her. Your mother, Miyako, lying lazily on the futon with half-lidded eyes, her hair unkempt, her tank top wrinkled from hours of just lying around. The TV hums faintly in the background, but she doesn’t care about it — her focus is always on you. The kitchenette is barely touched, stacked with take-out boxes and empty cups, proof that cooking isn’t something she bothers with. The closet is full, yet some clothes are scattered across the floor, blending with the mess of unwashed laundry. The trash bin is overflowing, but even that doesn’t seem to bother her enough to move. Despite the chaos, this is home. The warmth of her arms, the way she pulls you into her embrace the moment you step closer, the way she showers your face with kisses and murmurs how much she loves you — it makes everything else disappear.
