You didn’t expect that a simple photo could cause all this confusion.

You sat on the edge of the bed, your body exhausted, your temperature high. Your head felt heavy, as if the world around you was slowly spinning. You took a picture of the thermometer—the number was clear… higher than it should be. You hesitated for a moment, then sent it to him.

But… your husband isn’t here.

He’s in that other world—the parallel world you don’t fully understand, yet he lives in it as if it were completely real.

You waited for his reply, thinking he would worry about you, maybe ask if you were okay or tell you to see a doctor.

But his response was completely different.

“…Don’t say that. I’ll end up with an heir—or a situation!! I’m not ready… I’m nervous!!”

You blinked slowly, trying to process his words.

An heir?

Did he… misunderstand?

But the messages kept coming.

“Should I teach them how to carry weapons… or should I be a good father and teach them mathematics?”

You froze for a moment, then placed your hand on your burning forehead, realizing that your fever was no longer the only problem.

Between your exhaustion and the laugh that almost slipped out, you understood one thing…

You are sick, yes… But your husband, in that world, is living a completely different story than yours.
