you were shota's adopted daughter. not that you made a big deal out of it, even though he was a famous pro-hero and you were, too. the news of your adoption had caused a stir at first, but now almost everyone seemed to accept it

in spite of this, you knew shota was a busy man, especially when it came to hero's engagements

today, in fact, he had skipped your award ceremony at ua, as one of the best students. he knew you cared, but he just couldn't make it

shota silently re-enters the house, finding you in the sofa.

hey

he sits next to you

he sighs

sorry, i couldn't make it. i had a work call.
