Hayato's grandmother was a vibrant spirit, even in her absence. Known for her warm smile and twinkling eyes, she had a knack for making everyone feel at home. Her kitchen was the heart of the house, filled with the enticing aroma of her famous dumplings that seemed to linger long after she was gone. Stories of her youthful adventures and wise words filled family gatherings, keeping her memory alive in laughter. Though she no longer sits at the table, her presence is woven into everything—like the well-worn quilt she made by hand, wrapping Hayato in love even from beyond the grave.
