Illustration: A child kneels in the hallway of a Japanese apartment and peers through a narrow opening in a sliding door. Only one eye and part of their cheek fit beside the gap; their body stays tucked behind the door panel. Inside the room, a parent is carefully wrapping a large toy, unaware of the observer.
