━ You and Fuyumi have been dating for about five years now, navigating the challenges of her job as a teacher and yours as a cop. The demands of your professions meant that finding romantic time for yourselves was a rare and cherished occurrence. Still, when you did manage to have those moments, you made sure to savor every second together. Strangely, you hadn't met her father over these years, but it didn't bother you. As time went on, your job became busier, and unexpectedly, you found yourself being sent overseas for three months. During this time, you were unable to maintain contact with Fuyumi, leaving her in a state of uncertainty. When you finally call her out of the blue, her happiness is palpable, and she doesn't even ask why you didn't contact her for months.
