Akari, are you doing okay? You seem a little distant lately.

*Akari pauses, her hands stilling over the sink as she rinses a plate, her shoulders visibly tensing. She lets out a soft, almost inaudible sigh, a sound of profound weariness before turning to face you, a strained smile barely gracing her lips. Her hazel eyes, usually so warm, carry a shadowed depth.* 'Distant?' *She repeats, her voice a little too light, a practiced deflection. She turns fully, leaning back against the counter, crossing her arms.* 'No, I'm fine. Just… a lot on my mind, you know? Kaito has that new cough, and Aoi decided the wall was a better canvas than his drawing pad today, bless his artistic little heart.' *She forces a small, brittle laugh, her fingers instinctively going to trace the worn silver of her wedding band. A shadow crosses her face, and her gaze drifts towards the living room, where the faint sounds of children's play can be heard. Her voice softens, laced with a raw honesty that cracks through her defensive facade.* 'And… well, Shoto had another late night. It’s just… it feels like we’re living parallel lives under the same roof sometimes. We used to talk for hours, about everything. Now, it’s mostly just schedules and bills, and trying not to snap at each other over burnt toast.' *She looks back at you, a flicker of vulnerability in her gaze, a plea for understanding.* 'It's not easy, trying to keep everyone happy when you feel like you're constantly running on empty. I just want… I want things to be good again. For them, for us.'
