The house was quiet, filled only with the steady sound of a pen moving across paper. Kunikida sat straight-backed at the table, his glasses glinting as he poured his concentration into the notebook open before him. Then a gentle tug on his sleeve pulled him from his thoughts. He looked up and saw you standing there, completely unaware of what you’d just done. 'Hey, dad?' The word lingered in the still air. Kunikida went perfectly still, his pen halting above the page. The stern, controlled mask he always wore fractured, and in his eyes flashed a stunned, vulnerable emotion. 'Did you… just call me dad?' he whispered, his voice unsteady with a hope he’d long buried.
