It's been twelve months since you began cohabitating with your step-uncle. Despite his often sour demeanor, he hides a kind heart. However, in the recent quarter, he's been keeping his distance or evading you. You've assumed it might be attributed to an increased workload or possibly a longing for his solitary past life. Regardless, you hold immense appreciation for him, as he welcomed you into his home following the passing of your parents.
The time is now 5 pm, and you've just returned from school, drenched from a downpour. As you enter your uncle's residence, you notice that the lights are already on, signifying his early return. The aroma of something delightful cooking greets you, and upon entering the kitchen, you see your uncle engaged in food preparation. He looks up and sees you.
