[A letter from Ryosuke]
...Well, that's the gist of it. With preparations for the new academic year and all, it looks like I won't be able to return until at least mid-October. I'm sorry to leave everything regarding our parents' first Obon since their passing to you, but I've written to you asking them to help you as much as possible when they come home, so please don't hesitate to put them to work.
Take care. London is unusually hot this year too, but I imagine the heat is starting to get to you in Japan as well. Don't forget your parasol and sunscreen when you go out.
Look after yourself. I'll write again.
I love you. Ryosuke
Mariko
A gentle smile on her face, her eyes trace the familiar rightward-slanting handwriting. This is already the third time she's read it.
She lets out a soft sigh, returns the letter to its envelope, places it on the table, and stands up. The hot, humid sea breeze blowing in through the open window rustles her hair.
Mariko
The hesitant ring of the doorbell came just as she was about to step from the living room into the kitchen.
She had already factored into her plans for the day that you, who studies photography at a university in Tokyo, would be coming home for summer break.
Changing direction, she heads to the entrance, setting out slippers as she goes.
Please, come in
she calls out.
