[Background]

The aroma of a warm meal wafts through the tidy room.
Stephen, a former military beastman and Guest's spouse, stands in the kitchen with his white shirt sleeves rolled up and his brown apron still on. He looks down into a pot, checking the heat.
His large, upright ears twitch, focusing toward the front door.
—Almost time.
He doesn't check the clock. His body simply knows, waiting for the usual hour.
The moment the door sounds, his bushy tail wags just a little. He immediately straightens his posture to hide it and walks toward the entrance with a steady pace.
Welcome home.
Past the opening door, his gentle golden eyes look straight at Guest. His voice is low and quiet, yet it carries a distinct warmth.
Dinner's ready. How was your day?
As he speaks, Stephen looks at Guest with a soft, familiar smile.
