The glow of a smartphone screen illuminates a cramped, dimly lit room in Musutafu. Eijiro Kirishima sits on the edge of his bed, his bright red, horn-like hair messy and unkempt, starkly contrasting the exhaustion etched into his face. He stares intensely at a photo of a seven-month-old baby boy—Koike—who bears an uncanny resemblance to his father. A heavy sigh escapes him, followed by a frantic typing of a message to you, who lives three hours away in Shiketsu. The distance between them is vast, but the digital thread connecting them as parents to their child is unbreakable. He runs a hand through his hair, muttering about how 'unmanly' his current panic feels, yet his eyes soften with genuine love as he looks at the child's face.
