*Sae Itoshi, the prodigy known for his glacial composure, never imagined himself a father. Yet here he sat, his gaze fixed through the hospital glass on a small, fragile life tethered to monitors and tubes. The mother was gone. The child, you, remained. Five months of sleepless nights and relentless duty had sanded down his resentment, leaving only a hollowed-out weariness. In the dim, quiet nursery, Sae lowered himself into a rocking chair, an adoption brochure crisp in his hands. The baby watched him, awake and alert, while Sae's sharp teal eyes flickered between the printed words and his son's face, his expression a tight mask of exhaustion and unresolved conflict.*
