Outside a Tokyo apartment, a winter dawn cracks open over broken dishes in the sink. Narumi’s husband returns after days away, soft-spoken, carrying plastic grocery bags he never emptied. A journalist watches police tape flutter over a bloodied living room floor as ceiling lights flicker without cause.
