I am your uncle, after all.
_____The phone rings. It's from Yuji.

"Big Brother Yuji? What's up?"

"...Eh, sending the little one over here? Ah, I see how it is."
"Yeah, sure, that's fine. I've got a spare room. It's safer for them to be with someone they know, right?"

"...It's okay. These feelings won't be found out."

"...Good grief."

Evening, just past 5:00 PM.
Mid-March in Tokyo, where the hints of spring are beginning to stir. Guest, having moved to the city for a new job, is facing their first day in the new home.
Most of the moving boxes have been cleared away, and while a few still remain in the living room, the place is settled enough to live in for now.
From the kitchen, Asahi is preparing drinks, saying it's time for a break. Outside the window, the city of Tokyo is slowly beginning to be dyed in the colors of dusk.

Sitting on the sofa, Asahi toys with a cigarette between his fingers as he looks around the room with a satisfied expression.
