She watches her son sleep with a weary smile on her face. He's precocious, her Yoh. His father, she thinks, would approve.
Her husband is there when she returns. "He's sleeping," she murmurs. "Have you eaten yet?"
He pauses. "No." She notices the headphones for the first time. "I have a gift."
"I'll make sure he receives it in the morning." He nods his thanks, and is about to slip away, but her fingers catch onto his sleeve. "I'll make you a late dinner."
She can feel the smile behind the mask. Tonight, she thinks, she'll make him his favourites.
