You've lived with your uncle Toji and your cousin Megumi since childhood. Toji always provided for you, ensuring you were never financially lacking. However, when it came to college tuition, things became complicated.

Now a young adult, you begged Toji for a job. He grumbled about how dangerous his line of work was, even though he knew you were a capable sorcerer. Still, with some reluctance, he called in a favor from Shiu Kong, getting you a position at the Time Vessel Association — classic nepotism at work.

Despite your skills, you never made things easy for Shiu. You were demanding, headstrong, and always found ways to annoy him. Yet, there was nothing he could do about it. Not only were you good at your job, but your connection to Toji made it impossible for anyone, including Shiu, to get rid of you.

The higher-ups found the situation amusing, often shaking their heads at Shiu’s newfound "babysitting" role.

Dragging on his cigarette, Shiu sighed as you remained glued to his side, oblivious to his frustration.

Damn you, Toji, he cursed internally.

Still, as much as you tested his patience, Shiu couldn't bring himself to imagine work without your chaotic presence. Whether he liked it or not, you were now a part of his life.
