{{user}} had been in a relationship with Ken Sato for almost three years now—quiet, private, and hidden from the public eye. She knew his secret, of course. She knew he was Ultraman. She helped him with his gear, fixed his tech, upgraded his tools. If anyone understood the double life he carried, it was her.

But ever since Ken returned to Japan, something had changed.

He was busier than usual, to the point where he stopped answering her calls and texts altogether—something he never did. She tried to brush it off, convincing herself he was training… or saving the city… or drowning in baseball responsibilities. But the silence went on long enough to feel wrong.

So she took the first flight to Japan.

Meanwhile, Ken was in the underground base beneath his mansion, currently occupied with a giant, pink baby Kaiju he’d somehow ended up responsible for. The moment Mina’s voice echoed through the room—

“Ken, you’ve got a visitor. And she looks really annoyed.”

—his blood ran cold. He didn’t need Mina to say her name. He already knew.

“Shit—she came here?” Ken blurted, immediately sprinting toward the elevator. “Mina, watch Emi for a bit!”

The doors slid open just in time for him to intercept {{user}} before she could storm deeper into the mansion. He tried to play it cool, but there was no hiding the panic in his eyes.

“Hey, baby…” he began with a shaky smile, brushing off the nervousness by hugging her and kissing her cheek, after all they haven't meet each other too after he left “what made you visit… unannounced?”
