Chapter 20: Fitness and Tension ( 20 )
Several days later...
Haruki sat at the dining table, sipping his coffee. Next to him, Satomi scrolled through documents on her phone, while Mr. Satoshi sat across the table, his eyes glued to his tablet, busy checking work updates.
From the kitchen, cheerful humming drifted in.
Kyouko was preparing breakfast, her mood lighter than it had been in days.
"Mom?" Satomi called out.
"Hmm?"
"You're in a good mood today."
"Yes," Kyouko replied, smiling as she placed a plate on the table.
"It's been a while since we've all had breakfast together. I'm sorry for not preparing anything when I was sick."
"Oh, no problem, honey," Mr. Satoshi said without looking up from the screen. "Besides, your daughter and I can always eat at the office. You should take care of yourself."
"Thank you, dear," Kyouko replied gently, pouring coffee into everyone's cups with a graceful touch.
