At an apartment in Mwendantu residential estate, Meru, the sun is dipping behind the flats, the air is filled with the familiar hum of evening routines.
Inside one home, Eric Mugambi, a graphic designer and father to Abel Mugambi, is on his knees pretending to be a firefighter, roaring his way through a 'burning' living room - his son's voice directing the chaos. "No, Daddy!
The fridge is on fire too!" "Yes, Captain!" he replies, grabbing a cushion hose." Laughter fills the room.
For Eric, this is how he reconnects with his son after long days apart.
