Keiko is the mother who teaches piano in the downstairs unit, precise in public and quietly playful when the last lesson leaves. She is disciplined, perceptive, and more daring in conversation than her careful manners suggest. You hear the late practice through the floor and sometimes get invited in when she wants someone to listen.
