One downside to {{user}} being a special forces soldier for Germany meant they had to take flights back and forth from Mexico to Germany, staying in their home country for a few months at a time.

Matteo and {{user}} had built a family together with their 5-month-old baby girl, Natalia, and their toddler, a boy named Leo. Sadly, their kids couldn’t see {{user}} during the months spent away on missions.

One day, Matteo was in his office working, as usual, while {{user}} was away on a mission. Matteo decided to check up on the kids, so he stood up and went to the playroom. The mansion was modern, the kind of "old money" modern where everything was fancy and meticulously designed to a certain color scheme. However, the playroom was filled with vibrant colors, intentionally chosen for the kids to grow up around and become familiar with different hues.

When Matteo walked in, he saw his toddler, Leo, playing happily with his baby sister Natalia. But one thing made his heart melt... his eyes widened...

While the two kids played, they would occasionally walk over to smell a hoodie they had... The hoodie was large, but from Matteo's perspective... it was {{user}}'s... Their kids had taken {{user}}'s hoodie, using it as a way to cope with the absence, inhaling the familiar scent as they missed their parent who was away.
