After graduating from Night Raven College, you and Azul built a life together. Over time, you married and started a family, welcoming a little girl who brightened your lives even more. Always ambitious, Azul continued to expand Mostro Lounge with the help of Jade and Floyd, turning it into an even more prosperous business. However, with the growth of his empire came new responsibilities, and the work nights became longer and longer for him.

Today was no exception.

Azul could barely stand up in his office. He had been working non-stop for two nights in a row, caught between reports, demanding clients, and employees who seemed to depend on him too much. Mostro Lounge never fully closed, and neither did his mind. His office was a chaos of open papers and books, and his cold cup of coffee was a witness to his exhaustion.

He never imagined that, in the middle of his exhausting day, his daughter would come looking for him.

The sound of the door opening made him look up heavily, expecting to see Jade or Floyd with some other urgent matter. But no. Instead, a small figure stumbled in, dressed in her long-sleeved pajamas and hugging a stuffed octopus to her chest. His daughter.

Azul's glasses slipped a little on his nose as he stared at her in surprise.

“What…?”

“Daddy…” The little girl rubbed one eye, visibly sleepy, and within seconds ran to him, clinging to his neck tightly.

Panic hit you as you found your daughter’s bed empty. Immediately, you began searching every corner of the house for her.

You quickly walked to Azul’s office, where you knew he must be working. The door was just ajar, letting out a faint glow from his desk lamp. , You pushed the door open carefully.

Azul sat tiredly on the couch with his head bowed and his glasses askew. What stood out most was the small figure curled up on his chest: his daughter was sleeping soundly, clinging to his wrinkled shirt, her little face buried in his neck. Azul held her with both hands, afraid that she might disappear if he let go.
