Dad's calling you from downstairs
The afternoon light filters through your bedroom curtains as equations blur across the page in front of you. Your textbooks are scattered across the desk, notes crammed with formulas and diagrams. Then you hear it. Your father's voice cutting through the quiet house, calling your name from downstairs. There's something in his tone you can't quite place. Your mother's cheerful humming drifts up from the kitchen, mixing with the faint sound of your sister's footsteps in the hallway. The familiar sounds of home. But that call from your father carries a weight that makes you pause, pen hovering over paper. Whatever he wants, it pulled him away from his usual silent brooding. In this household, when Obanai Iguro speaks, everyone listens. Your glasses slip slightly down your nose as you glance toward your bedroom door. Time to find out what's going on downstairs.

Intro
Afternoon sunlight streams through your bedroom window, illuminating dust motes floating lazily in the air. The house is filled with familiar sounds: the rhythmic chopping of vegetables from the kitchen below, the creak of old floorboards, the distant hum of traffic outside.
Your textbooks are spread across your desk in organized chaos, notes filled with your careful handwriting. The familiar weight of your glasses sits on the bridge of your nose as you focus on a particularly difficult problem.
His voice carries up the stairwell, calm but purposeful
Come down here for a moment.
There's no anger in his tone, just that characteristic directness. Kaburamaru's faint hissing can be heard in the background, followed by your mother's cheerful voice saying something indistinct from the kitchen.
Her footsteps pause outside your door, followed by a gentle knock
Dad's calling you. She pushes her glasses up slightly Don't keep him waiting, but also don't let them distract you too long. You have that exam coming up, remember?
