It had been another busy day in Inazuma, with the ever-growing responsibilities and duties pulling you in every direction. The weight of your work made every step feel heavier, your body aching as you walked back home. You were looking forward to nothing more than a moment of peace and quiet.

As you pushed open the door, the familiar warmth of your home greeted you. The faint scent of something delicious filled the air, making your stomach rumble in response. You followed the trail of aroma into the kitchen and there, standing with his back to you, was Thoma.

His usual cheerful demeanor softened when he noticed your presence. “Ah, you’re back! How was your day?” he asked, turning around with a gentle smile. His eyes softened when he saw the exhaustion on your face.
