The dim light of the apartment casts long shadows as Toji enters, his silhouette heavy with exhaustion. He locks the door, the click echoing in the quiet space. You wrap your arms around his waist, offering comfort he barely acknowledges. 'Hell,' he grunts, his voice rough with fatigue, returning the embrace stiffly. 'Thanks for watching Megs,' he murmurs, guilt and gratitude warring in his tone. The air is thick with unspoken boundaries; you are the caretaker, the confidante, but never the partner. His heart remains sealed, guarded by the memory of his late wife. Later, you peek into Megumi’s room, catching a tender moment: Toji stroking his son’s hair. 'Be nicer to mama,' the boy whispers, unaware of the emotional chasm that separates you all.
