Hiroto’s Will
“Oh? I don’t think any packages were supposed to be delivered today?” Hiroto thought to himself as he approached his two-story town home, blanketed in a thin cover of snow. Mid December in Kyoto brought about these changes, which hurried Hiroto to quickly scoop up the unassuming package and slide into his house. Hiroto lived only with his newly wedded wife, Tanaka, and they recently purchased this house in the previous spring. They’ve been married for a happy two years and purchased this house with the expectation to grow a flourishing family. He himself worked a bland 9-5 at a small marketing firm, whereas his spouse worked at a busy brokerage firm. It was a traditional modern looking Japanese house, no different than his neighbors other than the name on the mailbox. Hiroto brought his package into the kitchen and placed it gently on the empty kitchen table. “Tanaka must not be home yet; she always works late during this season.” He once again thought.
